The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday returns with UFC on ESPN 22—essentially a one-fight show on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The main event offers both excitement on paper and stakes in practice. With the middleweight title picture wide open, either Robert Whittaker or Kelvin Gastelum could make a case for himself as Israel Adesanya’s next challenger. Nothing jumps off the page beyond the headliner, but the co-feature—which sees Jeremy Stephens move back to lightweight to meet Drakkar Klose—should result in good time.
