Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just a few days away from its UFC 251 pay-per-view (PPV) event, set for this Sat. night (July 11, 2020) on Yas Island — also known as “Fight Island” — in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. UFC 251 will feature reigning welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, who defends his 170-pound strap against late replacement and No. 3-ranked title contender Jorge Masvidal. UFC 251 also hosts the featherweight rematch pitting 145-pound kingpin Alexander Volkanovski against former champion Max Holloway in the five-round co-headliner, while Petr Yan and Jose Aldo collide for the vacant 135-pound strap. In addition, former strawweight champions Jessica Andrade and Rose Namajunas run it back for a spot in the crowded 115-pound title chase, while Paige VanZant looks to increase her bargaining power against flyweight bruiser Amanda Ribas.
