Tonight, former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker will make his return to the octagon as he’ll take on Darren Till in the main event. Despite dropping the 185-pound belt, the 29-year-old owns four big wins out of his last five fights, beating Derek Brunson (UFC Fight Night 101), Ronaldo Souza (UFC on Fox 24), and Yoel Romero (UFC 213 and UFC 225).
However, Darren Till enters with some momentum on his side as the 27-year-old pulled off a big victory over Kelvin Gastelum. Even though he has back-to-back losses to Tyron Woodley and Jorge Masvidal, Till does have four victories in his last six fights.
In the co-main event, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira will fight for the final time against Mauricio Rua. In their last two encounters, the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion has defeated Nogueira; however, will that change in their trilogy match tonight?
Expect Alexander Gustafsson, Carla Esparza, Paul Craig, Nicolas Dalby, Alex Oliveira, and Khamzat Chimaev to be in action. Check out the full advertised line-up:
