UFC 214 was a grand event, but unfortunately, the combat sports world now begins its descent into the madness that is Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Forgotten in that is UFC 215. The full card stands as follows:
- Demetrious Johnson vs. Ray Borg
- Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko
- Junior dos Santos vs. Francis Ngannou
- Neil Magny vs. Rafael dos Anjos
- Jeremy Stephens vs. Gilbert Melendez
- Henry Cejudo vs. Wilson Reis
- Ilir Latifi vs. Tyson Pedro
- Sara McMann vs. Ketlen Vieira
- Gavin Tucker vs. Rick Glenn
- Ashlee Evans-Smith vs. Sarah Moras
- Arjan Bhullar vs. Luis Henrique
- Kajan Johnson vs. Adriano Martins
- Mitch Clarke vs. Alex White
The UFC seems bearish on how well the card can perform when millions are likely to throw down $100 for the bonkers boxing match, and as such, it has packed the card with fights that carry weight with the hardcore fans.
Atop the card is the flyweight title fight between Demetrious Johnson and Ray Borg, a bout that could see Johnson shatter the seemingly unbreakable record for consecutive UFC title defenses. The co-main event is no slouch either, as Amanda Nunes rematches Valentina Shevchenko with the women’s bantamweight title on the line. The undercard, meanwhile, is chock-full of former champions and contenders looking to gain momentum for another shot at gold.
The card is more than a month away, set for September 9, but it’s worth taking a good look at it in advance, just as a reminder of what the UFC has in store for fans after the circus on August 26.
