UFC Fight Night 70 comes your way this Saturday with a compelling middleweight main event.
No. 4-ranked middleweight Lyoto Machida squares off against No. 6-ranked Yoel Romero. Machida is coming off a brutal loss to Luke Rockhold in April, while Romero returns for the first time since his controversial win over Tim Kennedy last September.
This event has undergone numerous changes that included visa troubles for several fighters including Erick Silva. This unfortunate shake-up has left the UFC with only nine fights for the weekend’s card. Regardless, it should still be a fun night of fights.
The co-main event now will be Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Lorenz Larkin.
Seven of the nine bouts take place in the welterweight and middleweight divisions. There will be a lot of movement within those divisions on Saturday.
After all the shuffling, we can finally get this card under our belts in just a few short days. Let’s take a look at the complete guide for the nine-fight card hitting Florida this weekend.
