Check out the fight card and bout order for UFC Vegas 53.

The final APEX show this month for the UFC is a Fight Night card on April 30th, and two exciting men’s bantamweights are set to headline. Rob Font, who went the distance in a loss to Jose Aldo in his last fight (also a main event), will look to get back in the win column against Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera, whose last appearance ended in a spectacular front kick KO of the great Frankie Edgar.

Co-main event action sees former middleweight turned heavyweight Jake Collier battle former UFC champion Andrei Arlovski. Alexandr Romanov vs. Chase Sherman got moved to this card after it was scratched on fight day from UFC Vegas 52 over the weekend.
