The official fight poster for UFC’s upcoming event on July 25 live on ESPN+ from ‘Fight Island’ in Abu Dhabi has dropped, and it looks pretty damn good.
Leading the way for UFC’s end-of-July event is a middleweight headliner pitting former 185-pound champion Robert Whittaker against former welterweight contender Darren Till. This will be Whittaker’s first fight since losing his belt to Israel Adesanya last October, while Till makes his second appearance at middleweight since returning to the division late last year.
In advance to the middleweight headliner, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua will run it back with fellow Brazilian legend Antonio Rogerio Nogueira for a third time in what will be “Lil Nog’s” final MMA fight. Also gracing the main card will be a heavyweight clash between former UFC champion Fabricio Werdum and former light heavyweight title challenger Alexander Gustafsson, who will be making his division debut.

The event will also feature up-and-coming fighters such as Nathaniel Wood, Mike Grundy, Justin Tafa, and Movsar Evloev. Of course, with so much COVID-19 testing going on over the next few weeks some of these matchups are bound to change (knock on wood).
