The UFC is in Brazil this weekend to settle the featherweight title picture. Check the links below for all the ways you can watch the action, live from Rio.
Tonight the UFC is coming to you live from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with a headline act that promises to both excite and settle who is the rightful king of the 145ers.
The main event for UFC 212 is Jose Aldo versus Max Holloway for the UFC featherweight championship. The match-up pits Aldo, the most dominant featherweight in ZUFFA history, against a man whose 10 fight winning streak might be the most impressive run ever witnessed in the UFC. Will Aldo continue to prove his place among the all-time greats or will Holloway surpass him and show that he alone deserves to reign atop the division.
Though the main event is must-see-TV, the remainder of the pay-per-view card is hit and miss. The co-main is an intriguing match-up of former women’s strawweight challengers Claudia Gadelha and Karolina Kowalkiewicz. A win for either woman could set them up with a quick rematch against the ferocious Joanna Champion. Before that there’s middleweight action with Vitor Belfort taking on Nate Marquardt and Paulo Henrique Costa (aka Borrachinha) looking to impress versus Oluwale Bamgbose. The main card starts with Erick Silva versus Yancy Medeiros in the welterweight division.
The FS1 prelims kick-off at 8pm EST. The featured prelim is an intriguing fight between perennial bantamweight contender Raphael Assuncao and former WSOF champ Marlon Moraes (who is making his UFC debut). Elsewhere on the card, Antonio Carlos Junior fights Eric Spicely at 185lbs, Johnny Eduardo meets Matthew Lopez at 135lbs, and Iuri Alcantara faces Brian Kelleher also at 135lbs.
As always the UFC Fight Pass prelims get the night started. Tonight’s offerings include Viviane Pereira versus Jamie Moyle in the women’s strawweight division, Luan Chagas versus Jim Wallhead at welterweight, and Marco Beltran versus Deiveson Alcantara at flyweight.
