The UFC circus lands in Chicago, Illinois this Saturday to Get UFC 225.
The lineup is completely stacked from top to bottom.
Matchmakers Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard really did a remarkable job with this fight 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, and the always exciting 6-time Fight of the Night bonus receiver Clay”The Carpenter” Guida.
The undercard will be broadcast live on FS1. Former title challenger Ricardo Lamas will square off against Bosnian Mirsad Bektic. Mirsad is coming from a Performance of the Night when he pumped out Godofredo Pepey from the 1st round back in January.
There’s also a showdown between two former Strawweight name challengers Brazilian Claudia Gadelha and”Cookie Monster” Carla Esparza. We also get to find another name challenger Alistair Overeem collide with the up and coming Curtis”Razor” Blaydes at a heavyweight matchup with severe name consequences.
And that’s just the undercard. I am pumped!
Kicking off the main card will probably be former WWE superstar and hometown boy C.M. Punk. Then we’ll see former world champions and current teammates Andrei Arlovski and Holly Holm in actions as well as two title fights in the primary and co-main occasion.
Colby”Chaos” Covington has been remarkable inside the Octagon. It’s been his cruel words for Brazilian lovers and endless smack talk in the direction of the divisional foes onto Twitter that has moved up the Welterweight ladder quicker than anything, though.
He will face former 155 lb world champion Rafael Dos Anjos in an Interim Welterweight Title Fight.
The main event is a rematch between the 185-pound branch’s best fighters Yoel”The Soldier of God” Romero along with the title-holder from New Zealand Robert Whittaker. Whittaker was too much for Romero the first time that they locked horns, but the two are evenly matched and anything can happen when they meet again.
