There are two big title fights headlining Saturday’s UFC 235 card in Las Vegas.
But outside of those key clashes, there are some other pretty killer matchups on the card. On the pay-per-view portion alone, there are three nice-looking fights.
Ex-Bellator and ONE Championship titleholder Ben Askren (18-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes a highly anticipated UFC debut when he takes on former welterweight champ Robbie Lawler (28-12 MMA, 13-6 UFC). Tecia Torres (10-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) fights Weili Zhang (18-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) in what oddsmakers believe will be a closely contested women’s strawweight fight. And to open the main card, former bantamweight champ Cody Garbrandt (11-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) meets Pedro Munhoz (17-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC).
On the prelims, Zabit Magomedsharipov (16-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) fights Jeremy Stephens (28-15 MMA, 15-14 UFC) in a potential featherweight barnburner. And Diego Sanchez (28-11 MMA, 17-11 UFC) seldom is in a boring fight; he meets Mickey Gall (5-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) on the ESPN-broadcast prelims.
So in our latest Daily Debate question, we wondered which Saturday fight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas you’re most looking forward to – aside from the light heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Anthony Smith and the welterweight title clash between Tyron Woodley and Kamaru Usman, of course.
The results (via Twitter) were a runaway:
