Take a look at the fight card and bout order for UFC on FOX 27, which takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday, January 27th.
The Octagon heads to the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina on Saturday, January 27th for UFC on FOX 27. In the main event, Jacare Souza rematches Derek Brunson in a five-round middleweight bout, less than six years removed from when the BJJ standout knocked Brunson out cold in Strikeforce.
Due to Ilir Latifi’s injury, his fight with Ovince Saint Preux was moved to UFC on FOX 28, so the new co-main event is a featherweight fight between Dennis Bermudez and Andre Fili. Lightweight prospect Gregor Gillespie takes on Jordan Rinaldi, and Frank Camacho will face Drew Dober in what should be an exciting main card opener.
Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of fights here that have potential to be really fun, including the entire main card, but if I rattled off the bout order from top to bottom, nothing about it suggests it’s a big FOX card.
