UFC 185 Fight Card

UFC 185 takes place this coming Saturday night in Dallas, Texas and we’ve got the full fight card for you below.

In the main event of the evening the always exciting to watch lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will attempt to make the second successful defense of his title against Rafael dos Anjos who’s lost just one of his last nine bouts and taken out some big names along the way like Donald Cerrone, Nate Diaz and Ben Henderson.

There’s more title action in the co-main event as the UFC’s first ever strawweight champion Carla Esparza defends the belt for the first time against clinical striker Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

There’s more big fights on the main card, including the welterweight division’s No.1 contender Johny Hendricks first fight since losing the title to Robbie Lawler which sees him going up against Matt Brown coming off a loss to the new 170lb champ which ended his own seven fight unbeaten run.

A hard hitting heavyweight encounter features Roy Nelson, returning to action after the first KO loss of his UFC run, going up against Alistair Overeem who finished Stefan Struve by first round knockout back in December.

Opening up the main card is the hotly tipped Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo who will make another attempt to cut weight down to flyweight in order to face recent title contender Chris Cariaso.
