The UFC will host its second Sunday night fight card this weekend, as the promotion heads down to Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil for UFC Fight Night: Bigfoot vs Mir. The event, which takes place almost entirely on Fox Sports 1, features a main event between former heavyweight champion Frank Mir, and former title challenger Antonio Silva. The co-main event of the evening is a lightweight battle between Edson Barboza and Michael Johnson, which is undoubtedly the most riveting match-up on the fight card.
The event also features a lightweight bout between Rustam Khabilov and Adriano Martins, as well as Sam Alvey vs. Cezar Ferreira, Iuri Alcantara vs. Frankie Saenz, and Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Sean Strickland.
The four-fight preliminary card on Fox Sports 1 begins at 6:00 p.m. ET. The Fox Sports 1 preliminary card consists of: Jessica Andrade vs. Marion Reneau, Matt Dwyer vs. William Macario, Mike De La Torre vs. Tiago Trator, and Wendell Oliveira vs. T.J. Waldburger.
Leading into the preliminary portion of the card is an hour of online viewing at UFC Fight Pass. The two fights are Cody Gibson vs. Douglas Silva and Ivan Jorge vs. Josh Shockley.
