Israel Adesanya vs. Yoel Romero
In the headliner, middleweight champ Israel Adesanya will battle longtime contender, Yoel Romero. It will mark the first time “The Last Stylebender” has fought, since he unified the 185 belts in October, by taking out Robert Whittaker.
In the other title fight, strawweight champ Weili Zhang will take on former champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Zhang is also making her first title defense, as she hasn’t fought since she stormed through Jessica Andrade in August to win the 115 crown.
