UFC 215 will feature a highly anticipated title defense from Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson (26-2-1) as he takes on massive underdog Ray Borg (11-2).

Rockhold is looking to return to his winning ways after losing the Middleweight title to Michael Bisping in his last fight back in June 2016.

This UFC Fight Night will feature a rematch between two legendary fighters. It will feature former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Shogun Rua (25-10) and UFC Light Heavyweight contender Ovince Saint Preux (20-10). These fighters previously fought on November 8, 2014 where Saint Preux won via knockout in the first round. Rua and Saint Preux are both coming off of victories in their last fights and will look to become contenders again in Japan. Both fighters have a tremendous amount of power which should make for a highly entertaining fight.
