After a break for Thanksgiving, the UFC is back for three more weeks in December before calling 2021 a wrap. This month’s action begins on December 4th, with UFC Vegas 44 at the APEX. In the main event, legendary former UFC and WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo looks to make it three wins in a row at bantamweight when he takes on the surging Rob Font. The co-main is can’t miss material, as Brad Riddell battles Rafael Fiziev in what should be a phenomenal matchup of lightweight strikers.
There’s some good news for Bryan Barberena as he will remain on the card despite Matt Brown’s withdrawal due to contracting COVID-19. Barberena will welcome Darian Weeks to the Octagon to open up the main card.
