Two former champions collide as the Octagon returns to Oklahoma for the first time in nearly a decade.
A week on from Conor McGregor’s comeback at UFC 329, the promotion is back in action tonight with UFC Oklahoma City, live from the Paycom Center.
Topping the twelve-fight card is a middleweight showdown between two former champions, as Dricus Du Plessis looks to rebound from the first loss of his UFC career against ex-welterweight king Kamaru Usman, who is making his first proper run at 185lbs.
Du Plessis suffered a lopsided decision loss to Khamzat Chimaev last August, a defeat that cost him the middleweight title and snapped an 11-fight winning streak.
Usman, meanwhile, returns off a composed decision win over Joaquin Buckley and is fighting for the first time on a full training camp at middleweight rather than on short notice.
The co-main event sees Jared Cannonier take on Christian Leroy Duncan, with the rest of the main card featuring Chase Hooper vs Mitch Ramirez, Tabatha Ricci vs Fatima Kline, and Tommy McMillen vs Alberto Montes. Ahead of tonight’s card, here is where and how to watch UFC Oklahoma City around the globe.
