Fights on Tap is a weekly roundup of all the fights booked in the UFC, Bellator and other promotions.
Despite being ravaged by a number of cancelations, UFC 270 was a decent showing for the first pay-per-view event of the year. Now that it is over, we can look ahead to some upcoming events. The UFC either announced or finalized 23 fights this week, and a light heavyweight championship bout has been set for May.
Glover Teixeira knew he would be meeting Jiu0159í Procházka next, and the newly crowned heavyweight king was correct. The Brazilian recently dethroned Jan Blachowicz with a second-round rear-naked choke at UFC 267 in a historical performance that saw him become the oldest champion in UFC history at 42 years old.
