Early prelim bouts begin at 6:30 p.m. and will be available on UFC Fight Pass and ESPN+. The proper preliminaries take over at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. The main card kicks off at 10 p.m. on ESPN+ pay-per-view. Additional streaming is available via the Reddit MMA Streams subreddit community.

Adesanya -- "The Last Stylebender," being the cartoon fan that he is -- is one of a kind, having changed the game in the UFC with his brilliant walkouts, crushing knockouts, and an athletic, lanky frame that belies his 185 pounds. He couldn't be more different from Romero, the 42-year-old challenger who just won't quit. A hulking specimen of a man, "The Soldier of God" is the kind who will make you pay in a flash and regret ever agreeing to take him on.

In the co-main, Jedrzejczyk is back to reclaim the strawweight title from a woman even dedicated MMA fans just don't know a ton about. Weili Zhang is a formidable operator known to finish her opponents early -- look for Joanna to try to test the Chinese champ's gas tank by using distance and dragging this thing into the late rounds.
