“Thank you, UFC fans. Tickets sold out within minutes, one of the fastest sales in Ultimate history. Record attendance in arenas. 15 thousand people. See you in Jacksonville”, wrote the 'boss', in his account on Twitter.
The engagement of fans to witness the show, in addition to being the first event with maximum attendance since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, has great reasons for happening. At the show, spectators will be able to closely follow 13 (scheduled) presentations, with three title fights.
The main fight will mark the rematch between Kamaru Usman e Jorge masvidal, who exchange forces for the welterweight belt (up to 77kg.). Winner in the first clash last season, the Nigerian will try to maintain the category's throne.
In the penultimate performance of the show, Brazil will be represented by Jessica Stacker. Former strawweight champion (up to 52,1kg), the woman from Pará will try to make history and end the reign of Valentina Shevchenko in flies (up to 56,7kg.).
Before 'Valentina x Bate-Estaca', the public will watch the return of the strawweight champion, Weili Zhang to the octagon. After winning a 'war' Joanna Jedrzejczyk, in 2020, and keep the belt, the Chinese will try to prevent Rose namajunas regain your old title.
