UFC 165 Fight Card

UFC 165 takes place this coming Saturday night with two titles on the line.

In the main event, Jon Jones looks for his sixth successful 205lb title defense against Swedish challenger Alexander Gustafsson who’s unbeaten in his last six fights.

In the co-main event it’s the interim bantamweight belt that’s on the line with Renan Barao seeking to fend off the latest challenger for the title, Eddie Wineland.

There’s also heavyweight action on the main card as ex-TUF 10 competitors Brendan Schaub and Matt Mitrione meet in the cage.

A meaningful middleweight match-up finds Costa Philippou attempting to continue his rise up the top 10 rankings against Francis Carmont who’s close to breaking onto that list himself.

The main card opens with a lightweight encounter between two men who’ve been performing impressively of late, Pat Healy and Khabib Murmagomedov.
