Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is bringing mixed martial arts (MMA) fans free fisticuffs TONIGHT (Sat., Jan. 28, 2017) by way of the UFC on FOX 23: “Shevchenko vs. Pena” combat sports event, taking place inside Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.
That’s where top women’s bantamweight contenders Valentina Shevchenko and Julianna Pena will throw down, with the winner having a very strong argument for the next crack at the division crown, currently held by Amanda Nunes. In UFC on FOX 23’s co-main event, former lightweight title contender Donald Cerrone continues his improbable climb up the 170-pound ladder opposite grizzled welterweight veteran Jorge Masvidal.
