The main card is headlined by a heavyweight tilt between Jairzinho Rozenstruik and the unbeaten Shamil Gaziev. The Dana White’s Contender Series veteran only has one UFC victory under his belt so far, but he’ll be looking to snatch Rozenstruik’s #12 ranking when the two meet in Las Vegas.
The co-main event features light heavyweight action between another unbeaten talent Vitor Petrino and longtime UFC veteran Tyson Pedro. “Icão” has only gone the distance twice in his career and is already 3-0 in the UFC, while Pedro is coming off an impressive knockout victory over Anton Turkalj at UFC 293.
The main card also features a fantastic flyweight bout between Alex Perez and Muhammad Mokaev as well as the return of Umar Nurmagomedov. We’ve got you covered with the results of today’s weigh-ins that start at 11:00 a.m. ET, on Friday, March 1 - as well as a live stream of the proceedings courtesy of MMA Junkie.
