Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is ready for a busy and wild night of fights as UFC 218 is primed and ready to kick off this weekend (Sat., Dec .2, 2017) from inside Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan and will feature Featherweight championship rematch between Max Holloway and Jose Aldo.

Aldo looks to reclaim the strap after coughing it up to “Blessed” at UFC 212, while max looks to score back-to-back victories against one of the most dominant champions in the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA).

Meanwhile, Alistair Overeem and Francis Ngannou will trade leather in the hard-hitting co-main event. The winner will be setting himself up for title fight against current 265-pound champion Stipe Miocic. Also, Eddie Alvarez and Justin Gaethje will do battle in what is sure to be a violent Lightweight affair

Before Max, Aldo, Overeem and the rest of the top-billed fighters take care of business inside the Octagon, the talented combatants were on hand to promote the events by showing off their best moves during the open workouts.
