It all goes down later tonight (Sat., Mar. 7, 2020) at UFC 248 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as undefeated UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya puts his 185-pound strap on the line against Cuban powerhouse Yoel Romero in the main event.
In addition to “Last Stylebender’s” first UFC title defense, newly-crowned UFC women’s strawweight champion Weili Zhang will test her luck against former titleholder Joanna Jedrzejczyk in the co-headliner. This will be Zhang’s first fight since knocking out Jessica Andrade to win the title last August, while Jedrzejczyk is competing in her third title fight since losing the strawweight belt back in 2017.
Fight fans will also get to see Beneil Dariush scrap with rising lightweight contender Drakkar Klose, the return of the ultra-popular Sean O’Malley, a second Octagon appearance by Olympic medalist Mark Madsen, and another middleweight affair featuring undefeated BJJ sensation Rodolfo Vieira.
