Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is ready to close out 2016 with a bang, as the leading mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion stages UFC 207 this Friday night (Dec. 30, 2016) from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The pay-per-view (PPV) event will be headlined by a much-anticipated women’s Bantamweight title fight, as division champion Amanda Nunes looks to defend her belt against former champion Ronda Rousey -- who is currently on a full media blackout ahead of her return.
In the co-headlining act, Dominick Cruz will put his own 135-pound on the line against Cody Garbrandt in what has already proven to be one hell of a bitter rivalry. The event, however, will be one marquee match up short, as the much-anticipated rematch between Cain Velasquez and Fabricio Werdum was scrapped after Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) officials deemed Cain “medically unfit” to compete.
The promotion takes a closer look at both “Lioness” and “Rowdy” in the special “Countdown to UFC 207” preview special that aired on FOX Sports 1 earlier this evening just a few days before they’re set to hook ‘em up in “Sin City.” Of course, “Dominator” and “No Love” are featured in the full video replay above, too.
