The UFC Star lands in Chicago, Illinois this Saturday for UFC 225.
The lineup is absolutely stacked from top to bottom.
Matchmakers Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard did a remarkable job with this card.
The UFC Fight Pass prelims alone feature former light heavyweight world champion Rashad Evans, a conflict between #1 and #5 rated Flyweights Joe Benavidez and Sergio Pettis, along with the always exciting 6-time Fight of the Night bonus recipient Clay”The Carpenter” Guida.
The undercard will be broadcast live on FS1. Former name challenger Ricardo Lamas will square off against Bosnian Mirsad Bektic. Mirsad is coming off a Performance of the Night when he pumped out Godofredo Pepey from the 1st back in January.
There is also a showdown involving two former Strawweight title challengers Brazilian Claudia Gadelha and”Cookie Monster” Carla Esparza. In addition, we get to find another name challenger Alistair Overeem collide with all the up and coming Curtis”Razor” Blaydes in a heavyweight matchup with serious name consequences.
And that is just the undercard. I’m pumped!
Kicking off the principal card will probably be former WWE superstar and hometown boy C.M. Punk. Then we’ll see former world champions and present teammates Andrei Arlovski and Holly Holm in actions as well as two title fights from the main and co-main occasion.
Colby”Chaos” Covington was remarkable within the Octagon. It has been his harsh words for Brazilian lovers and never-ending smack talk in the direction of his divisional foes onto Twitter that has moved up the Welterweight ladder faster than anything, however.
He’ll face former 155 pound world winner Rafael Dos Anjos within an Interim Welterweight Title Fight.
The most important event is a rematch between the 185-pound branch’s best fighters Yoel”The Soldier of God” Romero and the title-holder from New Zealand Robert Whittaker. Whittaker was too much for Romero the very first time that they locked horns, however, the two are equally matched and anything can happen when they meet again.
