After losing in his comeback fight following a two-year layoff due to a broken leg, former middleweight champion Chris Weidman has hinted that his bout against Bruno Silva on Saturday night could be the final fight of his career.

Nursulton Ruziboev claimed a 77 second KO victory in his UFC debut last year and he’ll now square up against Sedriques Dumas, who lost in his first Octagon appearance, but has since picked up back-to-back wins.

Bill Algeo and Kyle Nelson will lock horns after having each won their last two fights in the featherweight division.

Chidi Njokuani is in dire need of a win after losing his last three fights in a row, while Rhys McKee is still seeking his first win the Octagon, having suffered two losses in his first stint with the promotion, then returned after a three-year absence last year only to suffer another defeat.
