This Saturday night in the main event of UFC 234, breakout star Israel Adesanya (15-0 MMA; 4-0 UFC) will face former longtime middleweight champion Anderson Silva (34-8, 1NC MMA; 17-4, 1NC UFC) in what promises to be a fascinating fight. Adesanya vs. Silva was elevated to main event from co-main event, as Robert Whittaker’s diagnosed hernia led to his middleweight title fight vs. Kelvin Gastelum being cancelled.
UFC 234 will air live from Melbourne, Australia this Saturday night, February 9th. The main card starts on PPV with a fight time of 10:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. PT, with the ESPN prelims beginning at 8:00 p.
