UFC 221 Fight Card set with twelve bouts
UFC 221 Fight Card set with twelve bouts!
The octagon will return to Australia this February for UFC 221. The pay-per-view event will take place on February 11 in Perth, but will air live in North America on February 10 due to the time difference.
The twelve-bout fight card is headlined by a middleweight title fight featuring current champion Robert Whittaker taking on former division title holder Luke Rockhold.
Robert Whittaker (19-4 MMA) was last seen in action at July’s UFC 213 event in Las Vegas where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Yoel Romero to capture the promotions interim middleweight title.
Whittaker was recently promoted to undisputed UFC middleweight champion, this after Georges St-Pierre opted to vacate his newly acquired middleweight strap.
In the co-main event of UFC 221, heavyweight knockout artist Mark Hunt will take on surging contender Curtis Blaydes.
