A massive welterweight matchup is reportedly being targeted for UFC 245 later this year.

According to a report from MMA Junkie, the Las Vegas-based promotion is working on a bout between former 170-pound champion Robbie Lawler and Santiago Ponzinibbio. No bout agreements have been signed as of this writing, per the report. The UFC has also not yet made the fight official.

Lawler is on a three-fight losing streak at the moment; having fallen to names such as Rafael dos Anjos, Ben Askren, and Colby Covington. His last victory came against Donald Cerrone in July of 2017 at UFC 214. Ponzinibbio is on a seven-fight win streak and hoping for a big win over a household name in Lawler.

The Argentinian powerhouse owns victories over names such as Zak Cummings, Gunnar Nelson, Mike Perry, and Neil Magny. With a victory over Lawler, Ponzinibbio would be a likely candidate for a title eliminator.

UFC 245 will go down live on pay-per-view (PPV0 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 14. Currently, one championship fight is on deck for that card, that being a women’s bantamweight fight between Amanda Nunes and Germaine de Randamie. Check out the updated UFC 245 card below.

“The Immortal” Matt Brown is back. The longtime UFC veteran will end a two-year layoff to fight at UFC 245 on pay-per-view (PPV).

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported this weekend that Brown is set to take on Ben Saunders at the December show. UFC 245 takes place from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 14. Already scheduled for the card is a women’s featherweight title clash between Amanda Nunes and Germaine de Randamie.

The 38-year-old Brown last competed back in November of 2017. He knocked out Diego Sanchez at UFC Norfolk with an elbow in the third round. The victory ended a three-fight losing streak in which Brown was finished in each of those defeats. Now, Brown hopes to pick up his first win streak since 2014.

He’ll take on Saunders, a man in desperate need of a victory as he currently rides a three-fight losing streak in which he has been finished in each of those contests. His last outing resulted in a second-round TKO loss to Takashi Sato in April from Florida. A win over a legendary name like Brown would be quite the confidence booster for the 36-year-old veteran.

What do you think about Brown making his return at UFC 245 after two years?

Amanda Nunes will defend her 145-pound title next. ESPN is reporting that “The Lioness” will put her featherweight title up for grabs against Germaine de Randamie upon her Octagon return.

The matchup will reportedly go down on December 14 at the UFC 245 pay-per-view (PPV). Both sides have verbally agreed to the matchup, which takes place from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The UFC has not yet made the fight official as of this writing.

Nunes is currently on a nine-fight win streak and hasn’t been defeated since 2014. She is one of the most vicious knockout artists women’s mixed martial arts (MMA) has ever seen. In her most recent bout, Nunes, while being a dual-weight champion, successfully defended her 135-pound title against Holly Holm at UFC 239. Nunes finished Holm in the first round with a head kick and punches.

Now, she’ll attempt to become the first-ever dual champion in UFC history to have successfully defended both titles. As for de Randamie, she is an extremely decorated striker, and the first-ever women’s featherweight champion in UFC history. The 35-year-old is currently on a five-fight win streak, last defeating Aspen Ladd last month in just 16 seconds.

She hasn’t lost since being defeated by Nunes in their first meeting back in 2013 at bantamweight. Nunes finished de Randamie in the first round via TKO.
