Check out the current card for a May first ESPN card with a light heavyweight fight on top.
Following a quick jaunt to Florida for a full-arena PPV, the UFC will bring the Octagon back to the familiar confines of UFC Apex for a May 1st card that is sneaky deep. The headliner will come in the light heavyweight division, with contenders Dominick Reyes and Jiri Prochazka looking to up their chances at a title shot with an impressive win.
The rest of the bout order hasn’t been set yet, but you can count on a featherweight bout between Cub Swanson and Giga Chikadze being high on the card, and maybe even the co-main event. Another fight that seems like a main card lock comes at middleweight, where Krzysztof Jotko and Sean Strickland will be looking to continue their respective win streaks.
