The Ultimate Fighting Championship holds a championship double-header on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The event — which will be dedicated to the victims of the Las Vegas massacre on Sunday night — is headlined by an interim lightweight championship bout between Tony Ferguson and Kevin Lee.
In the co-main event, the promotion’s longest-reigning champion, Demetrious Johnson, looks to break the UFC record for consecutive title defenses when he defends his belt against Ray Borg. The two men were initially set to face off at UFC 215, before Borg was pulled from the event at the final moment after falling ill following the weight cut.
Also on the card is a thrilling heavyweight matchup between Derrick Lewis and former champion Fabricio Werdum.
Ahead of this weekend’s event, you can watch the build up with Ferguson vs. Lee, Johnson vs. Borg and Lewis vs. Werdum on the UFC 216 Countdown episode.
