On Saturday March 16, UFC returns with another card at the Apex in Las Vegas.
The card is headlined by a heavyweight showdown between No. 9 ranked Tai Tuivasa and No. 10 ranked Marcin Tybura.
Tuivasa rides a three-fight losing streak that dates back to February 2022, when he defeated Derrick Lewis, and is in big need of a win. Tybura also comes from a defeat, a TKO loss against Tom Aspinall in July last year, and intends to get back in the win column in at the Apex.
