UFC 228 takes place on Saturday, September 8, 2018 at the American Airlines Arena Center in Dallas, Texas.
The main card broadcasts live on pay-per-view starting 10 p.m. ET after the FS1 prelims.
Two title fights top UFC 228, a card which also offers some of the greatest women in the game. Welterweight kingpin Tyron Woodley will finally return to defend his title against kickboxer Darren Until in a timeless wrestler vs. striker matchup. Till has been the hottest 170-pounder in 2018, and the brash Brit evaluations himself against the best.
Valentina Shevchenko was tabbed as a prospective 125-pound champ the moment the UFC established the weight class. But present champion Nicco Montano has experienced a litany of minor accidents which kept her from competing. Of course, that devolved into accusations of ducking, but Montano is finally healthy and ready to throw down.
Jessica Andrade vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz is fairly much a title eliminator. KK gets the distinction of being the last fighter to be present champ Rose Namajunas, while there are a whole lot of fans that think Andrade would bulldoze against the champ. With no context, I’m always down to see Andrade bomb and piledrive away.
Let’s not leave the guys either: a featherweight matchup between Yair Rodriguez and Zabit Magomedsharipov is so hot at the moment. Both dudes fight as they’re living in the matrix, throwing high-flying kicks and spinning sh*t with reckless abandon. It is a fight that Zabit was requesting for, and after some play with Dana White, Yair is in for the win. This really is one of the most electrifying matchups of the year.
Who else? John Dodson takes on Jimmie Rivera in a contest with large bantamweight stakes. Rivera is somebody whose been knocking on the door to a title shot, but a fast loss to Marlon Moraes ended a 20-fight winning series, along with the hopes of challenging for the strap anytime soon.
