UFC Fight Night 68 Fight Card

The UFC is back at it again this coming Saturday night with UFC Fight Night 68 from New Orleans and we’ve got the full card for you below.

Headlining the show is a middleweight encounter between Dan Henderson, who at the age of 44 has just one win in his last six fights, and Tim Boetsch who’s not been faring much better with a 2-4 recent record.

In the co-main event we’ve got a battle of the heavyweights as the heavy-hitting Matt Mitrione looks to add to the three first round stoppage victories he’s compiled of late against Ben Rothwell who’s coming off back-to-back wins.

Dustin Poirier will continue his fresh campaign in the lightweight division when he faces up to Yancy Medeiros who’s scooped up two ‘Performance Of The Night’ bonuses for his recent fights in the Octagon.

Thiago Tavares
will be looking to extend his unbeaten run to three fights when he faces Brian Ortega who returns after a nine month steroid suspension.

Rounding off the main card there’s two bantamweight bouts with former title contender Joe Soto fighting Anthony Birchak while Alex Caceres and Francisco Rivera are both looking to bounce back from back-to-back defeats.
