The UFC delivers two title fights today, each with an extremely international flavour. In the main event UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, a Nigerian and a Kiwi, will take on Cuban expat Yoel Romero. The co-main event features UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili taking on former champion Joanna Ju0119drzejczyk.
The main event sees Adesanya defend his undisputed UFC middleweight belt for the very first time. He won the interim title last April with a win over Kelvin Gastelum and then earned the proper belt by defeating Robert Whittaker by KO in Melbourne in October. Romero finds himself in a title fight despite losing his last two bouts.
