UFC in Kansas City was one of the exciting events of this year. The main event between Max Holloway and Arnold Allen was a five-round fight. Max Holloway won the decision victory over Arnold Allen. The loss will not deteriorate Arnold Allen’s stock, as he is still young in the sport. The co-main event was also exciting as Edson Barboza knocked out Billy Quarantillo with a flying knee. The question fans are now asking is what is the UFC schedule and is there any UFC event this weekend?

UFC as an organization is known to put events week after week for fans. The organization can do so because of the number of fighters it has on the roster.

UFC Event This Weekend:

The fans around the world can be excited as we do have a UFC Fight Night this weekend. The main card will be headlined by the heavyweights in the UFC. We have Curtis Blaydes vs Segei Pavlovich in the main event.

The co- main event has Song Yadong vs Ricky Simon, who will fight at the bantamweight. At 155 pounds, we have the ever-entertaining Bobby Green vs Jared Gordan. These two divisions, the lightweight and the bantamweight, are two of the toughest divisions in the UFC right now.

Main Card:

  • Sergei Pavlovich vs Curtis Blaydes
  • Song Yadong vs Ricky Simon
  • Brad Tavares vs Bruno Silva
  • Bobby Green vs Jared Gordon
  • Iasmin Lucindo vs Brogan Walker
  • Jeremiah Wells vs Matthew Semelsberger.

Preliminary Card:

  • Rick Glenn vs Christos Giagos
  • Rani Yahya vs Montel Jackson
  • Karol Rosa vs Norma Dumont
  • Mohammed Usman vs Junior Tafa
  • Francis Marshall vs William Gomis
  • Priscila Cachoeira vs Karine Silva
  • Brady Hiestand vs Danaa Batgerel.

The fight card is stacked with some of the entertaining fights. The long-awaited debut of Kamaru Usman’s brother Mohammad Usman will happen in the prelims. He won TUF and fans have been waiting to see him compete inside the octagon ever since.

UFC Fight Night: Pavlovich vs Blaydes:

The event will take place on April 22nd at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, United States. The current state of the heavyweight division is stuck due to no clarity on the contender who will be facing the newly crowned champion. Stipe Miocic vs Jon Jones still seems to be in the works, but nothing has been finalized as of yet.

However, these two heavyweights are having a great opportunity as the winner could be in a great spot. The winner of Bobby Green vs Jared Gordon can also get a great fight at 155 pounds, as both of them are always in the race to fight the top fighters.

The event will be an exciting one to watch and the fans cannot wait for this weekend. UFC 288 is nearing, but we do have one more fight night after this one. The excitement is off the roof.

What are your predictions?
