UFC President Dana White is giving fight fans a sneak peek at tomorrow night’s UFC 251 pay-per-view (PPV) event, taking place on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. Ron Pearlman once again narrates the “cold open” — this time for the championship tripleheader topped by the welterweight showdown pitting Kamaru Usman against Jorge Masvidal.
In the five-round co-main event, Alexander Volkanovski looks to go two-up on former 145-pound kingpin Max Holloway, shortly after Petr Yan and Jose Aldo collide for the vacant bantamweight strap, left behind by the now-retired Henry Cejudo. The July 11 card also pits Amanda Ribas against Paige VanZant in flyweight action, while Rose Namajunas aims to avenge her loss to strawweight powerhouse Jessica Andrade.
