UFC 205 fight card: Cowboy Cerrone, Frankie Edgar in but no Conor McGregor

The first ever UFC card in New York has the majority of its main card set

UFC 205 was expected to deliver some superstar names. Instead, it looks like many of its fighters were unable to fight in time. On Wednesday, UFC made a slew of fight announcements for the historic card, but some notable names were missing from the plans.

Superstar featherweight Conor McGregor was hoping to get involved with the card after getting called out by lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez. However, UFC Tonight on Fox reports that McGregor is dealing with a leg injury that will keep him out of action. Meanwhile, Alvarez and top lightweight contender Khabib Nurmagomedov, is now being discussed for UFC 206 in December, per the same report after missing the deadline to sign on for New York.

Here's how the card shakes out.

UFC 205 fight card
Fighters	Weightclass
Donald Cerrone vs. Kelvin Gastelum	Welterweight
Frankie Edgar vs. Jeremy Stephens	Featherweight
Liz Carmouche vs. Katlyn Chookagian	Women's bantamweight
Rafael Natal vs. Tim Boestch	Middleweight
Rashad Evans vs. Tim Kennedy	Middleweight

As it stands now, the card is still missing a main event. But who could take that spot is still up in the air. If McGregor is indeed out, the only other top-tier fighters who could headline the event would be light heavyweight champ Daniel Cormier and challenger Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. However, neither fighter has been eager to jump at the date two months from now.
