Last Saturday’s UFC 208 was an ugly card, but things will return to normal at UFC 209…more or less.
Two incredibly compelling fights sit atop the March 4 event in the welterweight title match between Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson and the interim lightweight title bout of Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson. Backing them up is a heavyweight slugfest in Alistair Overeem vs. Mark Hunt. From there, however, the card drops off in a big way.
The full list of fights is as follows:
- Tyron Woodley vs. Stephen Thompson
- Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson
- Lando Vannata vs. David Teymur
- Alistair Overeem vs. Mark Hunt
- Rashad Evans vs. Daniel Kelly
- Darren Elkins vs. Mirsad Bektic
- Todd Duffee vs. Mark Godbeer
- Igor Pokrajac vs. Ed Herman
Other bouts will likely be announced in the coming days, and the order is yet to be determined. As such, it’s worth taking a quick look at each of the fights that are confirmed and a deeper look at the three guaranteed spots at the top.
