If he wins, he’ll become the first athlete to hold world titles in two UFC weight classes at the same time.

But his isn’t the only huge fight on the card.

The co-main event sees a battle for the UFC welterweight title as Tyron Woodley puts his belt on the line against Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson.
