Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is sorting through some of its middleweight clutter at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 65 mixed martial arts (MMA) co-main event "Down Under," scheduled for later tonight (Sat., May 9, 2015) inside the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide, South Australia.
That's where 185-pound contenders Brad Tavares and Robert Whittaker face off for a spot in the division title race.
After consecutive losses to Yoel Romero and Tim Boestch, Tavares (13-3) returned to the win column by taking a decision win over Nate Marquardt. Facing another former welterweight, Tavares will undoubtedly hunt for a finish, something that has largely eluded him in his UFC career.
