UFC 286 takes place this coming Saturday, 18th March from London, England and we’ve got the full fight card below.
In the main event there’s a massive welterweight title rematch between the new champion Leon Edwards and former divisional kingpin Kamaru Usman, who he shocked the world by defeating with a fifth round head kick out-of-the-blue last year.
The co-main event finds top-flight lightweight action as Justin Gaethje returns to action for the first time since an unsuccessful attempt to win the belt last year and finds himself going up against the in-form Rafael Fiziev, who is coming off a six-fight winning streak, including back-to-back KO’s in his last two outings.
Gunnar Nelson came back after a long layoff to pick up a decision win last year and now takes on Bryan Barbarena, who saw a three-fight winning streak come to an end last time out via a submission loss to Rafael dos Anjos.
Jennifer Maia has a somewhat patchy record in the UFC, but she earned a victory in her last fight and now will try to break Casey O’Neill’s perfect 9-0 record, which includes four wins in the UFC’s Octagon so far.
Opening up the main card will be middleweight action as former title contender Marvin Vettori attempts to build towards another push for the belt when he faces Roman Dolidze, who has been rising up the ranks courtesy of a four-fight unbeaten stretch, with his last three victories all coming via strikes.
