It seems that UFC Middleweight Champion, Chris Weidman, has suffered a knee injury and has been forced to pull out of his second title defense against Lyoto Machida. The match has now been moved to UFC 175 on July 5th. This now leaves the UFC 173 card without a main event. They could make the heavyweight clash between dos Santos and Miocic the main event, but that is doubtful.
Dan Henderson, who is coming off of a TKO win in Brazil this weekend, has petitioned for a rematch with Machida to fill in for the main event card. I also find this rematch unlikely to replace the main event, though I wouldn't mind seeing that fight. We will have to wait and see the fate of UFC 173.
