If the UFC's 2019 went as originally planned (Part One)

UFC 234 would've seen Robert Whittaker v. Kelvin Gastelum for the undisputed middleweight strap following Israel Adesanya's decision win over Anderson Silva. This sets up Adesanya to face either of them for the undisputed title and means that UFC 236 in April doesn't see Gastelum-Adesanya as the co-main event. 

Tyron Woodley v. Robbie Lawler at welterweight goes ahead in June in a rematch of former champs from UFC 201. This most likely means that Covington-Lawler doesn't go ahead for August, which means that UFC 245 probably wouldn't see Usman-Covington. 

Aspen Ladd v. Holly Holm goes ahead at UFC 235 in March. This means that Ladd-Eubanks probably wouldn't have happened and the Ladd-Holm winner would've gotten a title shot before December.
