The UFC is in London, England for this weekend’s UFC on Fuel TV 7 fight card. Fans at Wembley Arena will get to see a total of 12 fights with the main event being an interim title bout as Renan Barao puts his interim bantamweight title on the line when he faces Michael McDonald.
The interim title defense was not fully expected, but when bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz had to undergo a second knee surgery, Barao had no choice but to defend that title and the UFC matched him up with the highly ranked Michael McDonald.
The co-main event between Dustin Poirier and Cub Swanson could launch the winner to the top of the crowded featherweight pecking order.
Also featured on the Fuel portion of the card will be highly thought of prospects Jimi Manuwa, Gunnar Nelson and Ryan Jimmo. All three earned stoppage wins in their UFC debuts and will have many watching how they perform in their second UFC bouts.
The fighters competing in England on Saturday will weigh-in on Friday and Bleacher Report will have the results of the weigh-in as they take place. Please sure to check back at 11 a.m. ET on Friday.
