This weekend, the UFC returns to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the first time since 2018 with a card that looks certain to entertain. In the US, both the prelims and main card will be available on ESPN+ and ABC. In the UK, the early prelims will air on UFC Fight Pass before switching over to BT Sport 2 for the prelims and main card.
In the main event, Jairzinho Rozenstruik (13-4) takes on rising star Jailton Almeida (18-2) in a heavyweight clash that will likely not require the championship rounds. The 35-year-old is looking to put together a winning streak for the first time since 2019. However, he will have his work cut out against ‘Malhadinho’, who is riding a 13-fight win streak, with all of them by the finish. Meanwhile, the stakes are high in the co-main event when Anthony Smith (36-17) faces the always-exciting Johnny Walker (20-7).
Daniel Rodriguez (17-3) faces Ian Garry (11-0), who is looking to enter the rankings for the first time, while Carlos Ulberg (7-1) is up against Ihor Potieria (20-3) in a violence-filled light heavyweight contest. Finally, Tim Means (32-14-1, 1 NC) will face Alex Morono (22-8, 1 NC) in the main card opener.
The main card gets underway at 8 pm BST/3 pm ET, with the prelims beginning at 4:30 pm BST/11:30 am ET.
