UFC 160 will be broadcast live from the MGM Grand this evening, utilizing various distribution platforms to showcase some of the sport’s top fighters.
The main event pits Cain Velasquez against Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, the former trying to retain the World Heavyweight Championship against the latter. It’s Velasquez’s first title defense since dismantling Junior dos Santos, and also his first bout with Silva since issuing a TKO in Round 1 during UFC 146.
The co-main event, though not featuring a championship on the line, could be just as exciting for fans of MMA. The aforementioned Junior dos Santos—a former heavyweight champion—and challenger Mark Hunt are two of the strongest punchers in the entire sport. Their bout should be a perfect appetizer for the championship battle.
The main card, available only as a pay-per-view, follows a couple of undercards presented across two different platforms. The first three fights will be broadcast on YouTube, while the next four fights will be broadcast on FX. The final five fights—main event included—will be part of the paid spectacle.
