Check out the fight card for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Ngannou 2 card in Beijing, China.
The UFC is in China on November 24th for a UFC Fight Pass event, and heavyweights will be the headlining act. Curtis Blaydes’ UFC debut was a loss to Francis Ngannou back in 2016, but now they’re going to rematch in 2018, with Blaydes looking for a title shot and Ngannou trying to avoid a three-fight losing skid. In the co-main event, Alistair Overeem welcomes Fight Nights Global prospect Sergey Pavlovich to the UFC in another important heavyweight matchup.
This is largely a card that’s meant to showcase a lot of Chinese and other Asian MMA talents, and it’s in the middle of the night in the United States, so if you’re wanting a “stacked card” with big names when the opening bout is at 3 AM ET… I don’t know what to say to you. The top two fights at the very least should provide some intrigue, and this being a Fight Pass show, it’s on-demand by design, so don’t fret too much.
There’s no bout order yet for some reason, so here’s the fight card we have for Saturday, with the main card at 6:30 AM ET/3:30 AM PT and prelims at 3 AM ET/12 AM PT.
