The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to pay-per-view on Saturday, Sept. 8 for UFC 228. The event brings us our second consecutive championship doubleheader on pay-per-view, with the promotion’s welterweight and women’s flyweight titles on the line.
In the main event, welterweight titleholder Tyron Woodley puts his belt on the line against undefeated European standout Darren Till, who has been on a tear as he climbed up the ladder in the division. In the co-main event, inaugural women’s flyweight champion Nicco Montano makes the first defense of her belt against former women’s bantamweight title challenger Valentina Shevchenko.
Other bouts on the main card are Jessica Andrade vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz, Carla Esparza vs. Tatiana Suarez, and Zabit Magomedsharipov vs. Brandon Davis, who is a late replacement for an injured Yair Rodriguez.
UFC 228 takes place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
