On Saturday December 3, UFC returns to Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, with one of the absolute best cards of the autumn.
In the welterweight main event, No. 6 ranked veteran Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson takes on unranked fan favorite Kevin Holland in a five-rounder. The two top-drawer strikers both come from losses and are in need of a win in Florida.
The co-main event features another banger where former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos takes on the tough welterweight Bryan Barberena. The latter has been awarded with three Fight of the Night bonuses in his last four outings and rides a solid three-fight winning streak.
The UFC Orlando card also features a heavyweight clash between top ranked Tai Tuivasa and Sergei Pavlovich, as well as a women’s flyweight bout between Tracy Cortez and Amanda Ribas.

Jack Hermansson faces tough opponent
Middleweight Jack “The Joker” Hermansson was scheduled to face veteran Derek Brunson at UFC Orlando.
However, last week, Brunson was forced to pull out of the fight and now the No. 8 ranked Swede will face the unranked and dangerous prospect Roman Dolidze. Dolidze is 5-1 in the promotion and goes into the fight with three straight wins.
