UFC Fight Night 86 is scheduled for Sunday. The rare Sunday show marks the UFC’s first visit to Croatia.
Headlining the event is a heavyweight contest between former champion Junior Dos Santos and emerging challenger Ben Rothwell. Dos Santos is looking to rebound from a stoppage loss to Alistair Overeem, while Rothwell enters the match riding a four-fight winning streak.
The co-main event, another heavyweight tilt, features Gabriel Gonzaga and Derrick Lewis. Gonzaga won for the first time in four tries last December, while Lewis has knocked his last two opponents out.
