This weekend’s UFC Fight Night 201 took a major hit, with a planned main event between Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev pushed back to next month’s UFC 271.
In their place, a pair of dangerous light heavyweights now take the headlining slot, with Johnny Walker and Jamahal Hill agreeing to extend their meeting to five rounds.
In a talent-rich weight class, both Walker and Hill are looking to prove they belong among the division’s elite, and a big win in a featured slot could go a long way toward making that statement. But that’s not the only storyline to follow at Saturday’s event.
Here are five reasons to watch the event, which streams live in its entirety on ESPN+ beginning at 4 p.m. ET for the prelims and 7 p.m. ET for the main card.
