UFC 173 Fight Card

UFC 173 takes place this Saturday night and we’ve got the full fight card for you below.

A bantamweight title fight headlines the show as Renan Barao looks to extend his unbeaten UFC run to eight fights (33 in total) against Team Alpha Male product TJ Dillashaw who’s won five of his last six.

Co-main event honors goes to a light-heavyweight clash between title hopeful Daniel Cormier and the 43 year-old Dan Henderson who proved there’s life in the old dog yet with a win over ‘Shogun’ Rua last time out which snapped a three-fight losing streak.

Recent welterweight title challenger Robbie Lawler could quickly work his way back into contention if he can emerge victorious against Jake Ellenberger who also has aspirations to fight for the belt.

The pay-per-view main card is rounded off by top 10 bantamweight action as Takeya Mizugaki and Francisco Rivera put their recent winning streaks on the line, plus a lightweight encounter as Jamie Varner squares off against James Krause.
