Check out the fight card currently in place for UFC 234: Whittaker vs. Gastelum on February 9th in Melbourne, Australia.
The first UFC pay-per-view of 2019 was supposed to be UFC 233 on January 26th, but that ‘s cancelled, so UFC 234 on February 9th (February 10th in Australia) will represent the promotion’s first PPV of the ESPN era. In the main event, middleweight champion Robert Whittaker defends his title against Kelvin Gastelum. As for the co-main event, middleweight contender and rising star Israel Adesanya looks for another win, as he takes on the legendary former champ Anderson Silva.
This card is just about 2/3rds booked and it’s certainly lacking ranked fighters, although it should be noted that Kai-Kara France vs. Raulian Paiva appears to be taking place at flyweight, so the division lives through February.
