Huge card
Heavyweight Stipe Miocic (c) vs. Daniel Cormier
Featherweight Max Holloway (c) vs. Brian Ortega
Heavyweight Francis Ngannou vs. Derrick Lewis
Lightweight Michael Chiesa vs. Anthony Pettis
Light Heavyweight Gökhan Saki vs. Khalil Rountree Jr.
Middleweight Uriah Hall vs. Paulo Costa
Welterweight Yancy Medeiros vs. Mike Perry
Bantamweight Raphael Assunção vs. Rob Font
Welterweight Curtis Millender vs. Max Griffin
Lightweight Dan Hooker vs. Gilbert Burns
Obviously the main event is for the Heavyweight strap and is the Champ v Champ fight but some other great fights and stories on the card.
Max v T-City - featherweight is still a bit of a mess and is haunted by the ghost of the little Irishman, Max is a bonafide killer but will he resonate with fans? T-City on the other hand feels like the new wave, super cool and charismatic, almost a new Urijah Faber but is this shot too soon?
Francis v Derrick - Francis was meant to be "the guy" heaviest puncher, terrifying new Brock style phenom who would rule the division, then he ran into Stipe and found out you need more than one tool in the sport. Derrick will be game and this might just be who lands first
Hall v Costa - Remember when Hall KO'd Cella on TUF with that head kick? Then had Bubba crying about having to fight him, that was a long time ago and for all his gifts Hall has just never put it together in the actual UFC. Costa just beat Hendricks but the Johnny weve seen of late is a shell of the Johnny that won the W/Weight title. Costa is 27 and a win here probably means more than it should because we know what Hall is capable of, Hall on the other hand might just be at a crossroads (which is crazy given he has only lost to reeeeeally good fighters) but we expect a lot of him
Hooker v Burns - Im all in on the Hangman, loved him as the lightweight champ at AFC level and want him to keep going
