Israel Adesanya and Yoel Romero step into the Octagon to headline a huge night of UFC action this weekend.

The undefeated 18-0 Adesanya is gunning for another impressive victory as his stock continues to rise.

He begins the first full defence of his unified UFC Middleweight Championship belt, and will be confident of doing so against Romero.

The Cuban star has fought just four times since 2016 and lost three of those bouts, with his sole victory over Luke Rockhold failing to secure the Middleweight title due to being missing weight ahead of the event.

Romero will be desperate for a return to the top, but faces a major challenge in the shape of Adesanya.
