The Main Card

Headlined by one of the most intriguing match-ups the UFC has to offer. As Charles Oliveira takes on Islam Makhachev for the vacant Lightweight title. The co-main event will see Aljamain Sterling defend his Bantamweight crown against former two-time champion T.J Dillashaw.

Three more fights make up the main card, with a Bantamweight showcase between #1 Petr Yan as he takes on #12 Sean O’Malley who’s looking to pull off the biggest win of his career. What some consider is too soon for Sean, this fight divides opinion massively. With two extremely talented strikers, it will be a true showcase.
