Holland, meanwhile, was set to take on Daniel Rodriguez in a 180lbs catchweight bout. However, at the weigh-ins, Chimaev <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/ufc-279-chimaev-vs-diaz-weigh-in-results-khamzat-chimaev-badly-misses-weight\/\">missed weight by 7.5lbs<\/a> and sources now have told BJPENN.com the hope is to do Diaz-Ferguson and Holland-Chimaev.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Although this remains a fluid situation and things are changing by the minute, Holland took to his Instagram story to reveal what he needs to happen to accept the Chimaev bout.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpinninBackfist\/status\/1568330151401750528<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;New fight terms.

As well, given that Holland&#8217;s fight was set at a 180lbs catchweight, the weight would work for the Chimaev bout, but it doesn&#8217;t seem like they would be the main event given Nate Diaz and Tony Ferguson would be ahead of them.<\/p>\n<p>Holland (23-7 and one No Contest) is on a two-fight winning streak after defeating Tim Means by submission and knocking out Alex Oliveira in his UFC welterweight debut.
