The complete UFC 207 fight card will air later this evening (Fri., Dec. 30, 2016) on two different stations -- FOX Sports 1 and pay-per-view (PPV) -- as well as online via "Fight Pass" digital network. UFC 207's "Prelims" undercard will begin at 7:30 p.m. online via "Fight Pass" before transitioning to the FOX Sports 1 television station at 8 p.m. ET. Once the UFC 207 undercard is complete, the action will pick up on PPV at 10 p.m. ET, starting with a Flyweight bout between Top 15-ranked contenders Louis Smolka (No. 12) and Ray Borg (No. 13). Then it's a meaningful Welterweight tilt between top-ranked contenders "Stun Gun" Dong Hyun Kim (No. 9) vs. former Strikeforce 170-pound champion Tarec Saffiedine (No. 12), with the winner inching that much closer toward a top spot in the competitive weight class. And third from the top of the PPV bill is a likely No. 1 Bantamweight contender eliminator match between former champion, T.J. Dillashaw against the hard-hitting John Lineker.
Leading UFC 207's charge is, of course, the mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion's most recognizable star, former women's Bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, who will look to reclaim her world title after a 13-month layoff at the expense of current 135-pound queenpin, Amanda Nunes. It won't be easy, though, as "Rowdy" will have to shake off ring rust, as well as the awful memory of her last appearance in the Octagon, a mouth-breaking knockout loss to Holly Holm back in Nov. 2015. Despite a media "blackout" ahead of this evening's festivities, Rousey did appear on "Ellen" and hinted that she would soon "wrap up" her combat sports career, encouraging fans to tune in because she "won't be around forever."
Retirement or not, her dramatic comeback is well worth watching ... win or lose.
Meanwhile, in the co-main event, Bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz will attempt to send the hard-charging, up-and-coming Cody Garbrandt back to the end of the line after the No. 8-ranked contender successfully picked a fight with the Team Alpha Male slayer. On paper, it's not the most intriguing match up -- Garbrandt has just four years professional MMA experience to Cruz's 12 -- but anything can (and often does) happen in this unpredictable sport.
Just ask Ms. Rousey.
UFC 207 is going to be fantastic -- it is loaded with great fights and solid fighters from top to bottom. As mentioned above, it could also mark one of the final fights in the storied career of Rousey, who will go down in history as one of the most influential fighters ever ... whether fight fans like her or not. UFC 207: "Nunes vs. Rousey" will cost $59.95 to watch on PPV (exclusions may, and often do, apply based on geographic location).
