UFC 212 goes down Saturday from one of the world’s great capitals of combat, Rio de Janeiro.
What better reason to return to this fighting mecca than by putting one of the best Brazilian fighters in MMA history back into action?
Yes, it’s featherweight champion and all-time featherweight GOAT Jose Aldo. On Saturday, he’ll be taking on interim champ Max Holloway, who has only been pining and posturing and working his way toward a shot at Aldo for his entire professional life.
Until that McGregor guy comes back to the division—or if he does—this is the most compelling featherweight fight the UFC can make.
In the co-main event, another Brazilian notable, women’s strawweight Claudia Gadelha, takes on fellow contender Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
Oh, and there’s the purported final fight for a certain national hero as well.
There are 12 fights on the card, and this is your complete guide to each one of them. Ready to go? Let’s go.
