Oh, what could have been.
Once headlined by a rematch between former Strikeforce champions Luke Rockhold and "Jacare" Souza, UFC Fight Night 101 enters Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, with a fight between rising Middleweight standouts at the helm. In the main event, local favorite Robert Whittaker and recent knockout machine Derek Brunson put their five-fight win streaks to the test against each other. Elsewhere on the FOX Sports 1-televised card, young prospect Jake Matthews takes on Andrew Holbrook and former The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) competitor Kyle Noke faces hard-hitting Omari Akhmedov.
UFC Fight Night 101 features seven "Prelims" undercard matches this time around, split 4-3 between FOX Sports 1 and Fight Pass.
