Tonight's main event was supposed to see Amanda Nunes defending her women’s bantamweight title against Valentina Shevchenko, but that bout is now off due to a Nunes illness. The new main event is for the interim middleweight title, with Yoel Romero facing Robert Whittaker.
This post will cover the main card. The new co-main event of the show is likely the heavyweight tilt between Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum, but who knows at this point.
The prelims kick off at approximately 7pm ET/4pm PT with two bouts on UFC Fight Pass. They then move over to FS1 at 8pm ET/5pm PT for the other four prelims bouts.
