Magomed Kurbanov and Patrick Teixeira finally get to fight in Ekaterinburg, Russia, after several postponements to their earlier scheduled Light Heavyweight clash. The fight postponement was due to the ill health of Kurbanov after press conferences and weigh-ins, and the second time was due to the fallout of sanctions against Russia.
