The UFC returns to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this Saturday night for UFC 248.
In the main event, Israel Adesanya defends his middleweight title against Yoel Romero.
The card also features Weili Zhang putting her strawweight belt on the line against former champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
Adesanya is unbeaten over 18 career bouts including an October knockout of Robert Whittaker to win the belt. The 30-year-old has also bested Kelvin Gastelum, Anderson Silva and Derek Brunson in recent fights.

Romero enters coming off two consecutive decision defeats, but was given the title shot due to an injury to Paulo Costa. He was scheduled to fight for the title in 2018 vs. Whittaker, but missed weight.
The card also features Beneil Dariush meeting Drakkar Klose, Neil Magny vs. Li Jingliang and Alex Oliveira vs. Max Griffin.
