The show is scheduled to start at 13pm.

Magomedsharipov x Kattar

Known for his great technique, both on the feet and on the ground, Zabit will have, outside the octagon, a legion of fans rooting for his success in the confrontation against Calvin kattar. The athletes, who would previously fight the co-main duel of the night, took center stage after the Brazilian junior gypsy contracting a bacterial infection in the right leg and being unable to present for Alexander Volkov.

In addition to the title hunt, Magomedsharipov will step into the octagon to defend an impressive brand. The Russian, who only has one defeat in his career, has a streak of 13 consecutive victories in his career.

Kattar, in turn, is looking to extend his number of consecutive wins to two. The American is coming off victories over Ricardo Lamas and Chris Fishgold. His last performance took place in June, at UFC 238.

Volkov x Hardy

Alexander will not face the opponent he would like. Previously scheduled to face the former division champion, Volkov, now, after Cigano's injury, Greg, with less than a week's notice, accepted the challenge of stepping into the Octagon for the fifth time this year. The North American had appeared in one of the fights in ufc boston, held in October.

Even if the duel is not as planned by the company, Volkv, together with Hardy, have great potential to deliver to the public a fight worthy of a meeting between giants. If Greg wins, the athlete will make an important leap into the middle of the category, putting him in good condition to face elite athletes in the company.

Klidson, the lonely Brazilian

On the Russian card, Klidson Abreu became responsible for representing Brazil in the cold of Moscow. Looking for his second victory since debuting for Ultimate, the manauara needs to overcome Shamil Gamzatov to continue his journey towards the top of the heavyweight division.
