Check out the current fight card for UFC 221: Whittaker vs. Rockhold, which is set for February 11th in Perth, Australia.
The UFC middleweight title will be on the line on February 11th (February 10th in North America), as Robert Whittaker defends his belt against Luke Rockhold in front of what will surely be a raucous pro-Whittaker crowd in Perth, Australia. Whittaker was promoted to undisputed champion after Georges St-Pierre vacated his title just one month after winning it from Michael Bisping.
Also on the card is a heavyweight bout between Mark Hunt and rising contender Curtis Blaydes, as well as an intriguing flyweight clash featuring Jussier Formiga and Ben Nguyen. The UFC also recently signed Israel Adesanya, an outstanding kickboxer who is 11-0 in MMA with 11 knockouts. His debut will be against Rob Wilkinson, whose last fight was a knockout loss, so… good luck to him against someone like Adesanya.
