UFC On FOX 17 Fight Card

There’s still one major UFC event to go in 2015 and it takes place this coming Saturday night in the shape of UFC On FOX 17 from Orlando, Florida and we’ve got the full fight card for you below.

Headlining the event is a lightweight title fight between current chammpion Rafael dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone, with the Brazilian already holding a 2013 victory over ‘Cowboy’.

This high stakes fight has been spiced up further by the fact that it’s possible the winner could go on to defend the belt against new featherweight champion Conor McGregor if he does decide to move up a division.

In the co-main event we finally get to see a major heavyweight clash between Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem that’s fallen through a few times in the past couple of years.

Nate Diaz also returns to action on FOX after a year out to fight the No.5 ranked Michael Johnson.

There’s also an exciting featherweight match-up opening the main card as Myles Jury drops down to 145lbs after a successful run at lightweight to face the always entertaining Charles Oliveira.
