The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Nebraska for the third time in history for UFC Fight Night 135 at Lincoln’s Pinnacle Bank Arena. In the main event, top lightweights Justin Gaethje and James Vick will go head-to-head. A bout between the former WSOF champion Gaethje and Al Iaquinta was initially the scheduled headliner, but Vick stepped up when Iaquinta was forced to withdraw due to injury.
In the co-main event, featherweights Michael Johnson and Andre Fili will square off while a women’s strawweight fight between Cortney Casey and former Invicta FC champion Angela Hill also graces the main card on FOX Sports 1.
Other bouts on the main card are Jake Ellenberger vs. Bryan Barberena, John Moraga vs. Deiveson Figueiredo, and Eryk Anders vs. Tim Williams.
