He won't be. Chandler is literally flying to Abu Dhabi and weighing in no matter what. He's the replacement unless he gets injured.

I realize that just saying if the only thing standing in the way of that fight was simply having Ferguson as the replacement for Gaethje it would be rough to process

I'm not a Woodley fan but I hope he actually throws and lands that right hand and just starches Covington.

Me too. Its a weird storyline before the fighr though like its either:

Woodley throws hands and he wins

or

He doesn't and Colby wins

As if Woodley letting his hands go more is THE determining factor

I think it was probably something in the contract that made Bellator move on from him. I don't think Chandler is going to get a title shot without fighting in the UFC. Rumor is that they couldn't come to an agreement for Poirier-Chandler for 254 so this was the alternate. Don't know if they talked Ferguson-Chandler or not.

Poirier came out and said he wanted to show Tony respect for backing him in the negotiation. I think those two have a silent gentlemen's agreement to make that fight happen. 

I'm sure if Khabib/Gaethje dropped out one of them would accept that, but you still have to respect them sticking together.

I respect it but damn as a fan it sucks. Either one of Tony/Dustin would be a better replacement than Chandler imo
