UFC Fight Night 167 is official now that all 26 fighters have successfully weighed in (get complete weigh-in results and video here), which means there’s nothing left to do but throw hands tomorrow night (Sat., Feb. 15, 2020) inside Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
Headlining the ESPN+ fight card will be the light heavyweight rematch between Corey Anderson and Jan Blachowicz, who first went to war at UFC 191 several years back with “Overtime” taking a dominant decision victory. The winner is expected to face Jon Jones for the 205-pound title later this year.
Check out their staredown below:
