It’s been a long time coming but the UFC is back in Las Vegas! After hosting a few events in Florida they have made the move back to Vegas and their new APEX Center.
Tonight in the Main Card we’ll have #1 ranked welterweight Tyron Woodley taking on #6 ranked welterweight Gilbert Burns. This will be Woodley’s first fight back since losing the championship to Kamaru Usman at UFC 235
UFC Fight Night Apex Center
Date: Saturday, May 30
Location: UFC Apex, Las Vegas, NV
Main Card: 9:00 p.m. ET
UFC live stream: Watch the UFC fight tonight on ESPN+.
Dana White and UFC have decided to use its smaller octagon tonight at the Apex, which is 25-foot instead of their standard 30-foot cage. The smaller cage has historically shortened average fight times and increased finished rates due to the engagement between the fighters, if you’re planning on betting, keep this in mind.
Which Woodley will we see tonight is the real question UFC fans are asking themselves leading up to this match. Burns is coming in off five wins in a row and whoever wins this match tonight will likely be the next title challenger.
