Take a look at the bout order and full fight card for the Sunday, March 10th UFC Fight Night event in Zagreb, Croatia, where Ben Rothwell and Junior dos Santos meet in a heavyweight headliner.
Who’s up for some mid-morning/afternoon UFC? I know I am, and that’s what the UFC is serving up on Sunday, April 10th at the Arena Zagreb in Zagreb, Croatia. The main event is a big heavyweight showdown between former champion Junior dos Santos and surging contender Ben Rothwell. If you were to book this fight 4 years ago, JDS would have been both the reigning champion, as well as a massive favorite. Now? The betting lines are close to even, which also is a huge credit to Rothwell’s improvements over the years after the infamous Mark Hunt fight.
UFC Zagreb is filled with heavyweight bouts, of which 4 of the 5 occupy the top main card slots. The co-main event was originally supposed to feature Ruslan Magomedov against Gabriel Gonzaga, but a Magomedov injury changed things up, and now Derrick Lewis will travel to Europe to take on the former UFC title challenger.
