The card, which goes down in Salt Lake City, has caught its fair share of criticism. That's fair. It's certainly not a blockbuster, as far as numbered events go. That said, the main card looks like it could be very entertaining, and there are a solid mix of prospects, veterans, and former champions on the undercard. There's a lot to be excited for.
That includes the main event, which will see Natalia Silva and Wang Cong battle for the flyweight championship Valentina Shevchenko opted to vacate due to an injury. Both women have a lot of momentum—Silva in particular—and a lot of tools to rely on in the cage.
The co-main event is also quite compelling. It will be contested at bantamweight, where surging contender Payton Talbott will take one of the toughest tests of his career to date opposite former flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo.
King Green will also be in action on the main card, as he takes on Esteban Ribovics. It will also feature the long-awaited UFC debut of former KSW champ Roberto Soldic, who is set to clash with the always dangerous Khaos Williams at welterweight, and the latest appearance from rising middleweight prospect Ateba Gautier, who will take on Roman Kopylov.
The undercard fun will kick off at 4:00 pm ET, and the main card will begin at 8:00 pm.
As always, B/R will have you covered with live updates on all the action.
