The UFC will close out 2014 with a busy December, featuring four fight cards over the next two weeks. First up is UFC 181, which takes place this Saturday, December 6, in Las Vegas.
This pay-per-view boasts two title fights, headlined by a rematch between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler for the welterweight crown. The two previously tussled back in March, when Hendricks won a hotly contested unanimous decision.
The other title bout is for the lightweight standard. Recently crowned Anthony Pettis will look to get defense No. 1 under his belt by dispatching Gilbert Melendez. The two will meet for the first time but have experience competing against one another on The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned, which finishes up next Friday.
The entire UFC 181 card consists of 11 matchups, beginning on Fight Pass, continuing on Fox Sports 1 and finishing up on pay-per-view.
