The UFC will finish up a busy January with its third event of the month this Saturday, when it hosts UFC on Fox 27. Airing from Charlotte, North Carolina, the show boasts a four-fight main card capped by a middleweight showdown between Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza and Derek Brunson.
Souza enters the contest looking to bounce back from a loss to Robert Whittaker last April. Prior to the defeat, Souza had notched 10 wins in 11 bouts. Brunson, meanwhile, has won two in a row, including a first-round knockout of Lyoto Machida.
The full UFC on Fox 27 main card looks like this:
- Ronaldo Souza vs. Derek Brunson
- Dennis Bermudez vs. Andre Fili
- Jordan Rinaldi vs. Gregor Gillespie
- Drew Dober vs. Frank Camacho
