One of the key selling points for the UFC as a business is the frequency of their shows. There’s a UFC event every week, and fans just can’t get enough of them. However, there is no event this Saturday, something that doesn’t happen very often.
The last UFC event was UFC Vegas 27, featuring a main event fight between Cody Garbrandt and Rob Font. Font won the fight with an impressive display to cement himself as one of the contenders for the bantamweight title.
However, the UFC is shifting its focus to the heavyweight division with its next event.

However, Ribas was still struggling with post-COVID issues, and the fight had to be canceled for a second time.

However, the rest of the division will try to capitalize amidst the chaos to put their names into the hat. Rozenstruik and Sakai are two strong heavyweights. Both of them are coming off of a loss, with Sakai losing to Alistair Overeem and Rozenstruik losing to Ciryl Gane.
Hence, a win is vital for both of them if they want to challenge for the title. With the knockout power that these two have, don’t expect the fight to last very long.
