While UFC 188 likely can’t quite live up to the epic UFC 187 card, it will certainly try with a heavyweight title unification bout and a lineup of interesting fights featuring both new and old talent.
The full card is as follows:
- Cain Velasquez vs. Fabrício Werdum
- Gilbert Melendez vs. Eddie Alvarez
- Kelvin Gastelum vs. Nate Marquardt
- Yair Rodriguez vs. Charles Rosa
- Tecia Torres vs. Angela Hill
- Chico Camus vs. Henry Cejudo
- Efrain Escudero vs. Drew Dober
- Alejandro Perez vs. Patrick Williams
- Francisco Trevino vs. Johnny Case
- Augusto Montano vs. Cathal Pendred
- Gabriel Benitez vs. Clay Collard
- Hector Urbina vs. Albert Tumenov
The bout order is yet to be confirmed, but there are four bouts that clearly stick out, in addition to the main event.
Gilbert Melendez and Eddie Alvarez face off in a super-compelling matchup of long-time UFC outsiders, and Kelvin Gastelum looks to nail down a place in the middleweight division at the expense of veteran Nate Marquardt. Not only that but hot up-and-comers Henry Cejudo and Tecia Torres take on Chico Camus and Angela Hill, respectively.
