Here’s the finalized fight card and bout order for Saturday night’s big UFC 226 pay-per-view in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It’s finally here.
International Fight Week 2018 concludes with the most anticipated UFC pay-per-view of the year. The main event is a rare champ vs. champ superfight between heavyweight king Stipe Miocic and light heavyweight titleholder Daniel Cormier. Either Miocic extends his record for most consecutive title defenses, or Cormier joins Conor McGregor as the only simultaneous two-division champions in UFC history.
Sadly, the featherweight title fight between Max Holloway and Brian Ortega is off, as Holloway was pulled from the event due to concussion-like symptoms. Heavyweights Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou now take co-main event honors, while Drakkar Klose vs. Lando Vannata has been bumped up to FS1’s prelims, and Paul Felder vs. Mike Perry goes from the FS1 prelims to the PPV main card.
This is still a fantastic looking show, and T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas should be rocking for UFC 226.
