Bloody Elbow presents its fight week coverage for the latest PPV (pay-per-view) event 2022 has to offer, UFC 279, which goes down on Saturday, September 10th when the UFC returns stateside to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In the main event, the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) is featuring a blockbuster Welterweight showdown, with a must-watch thriller that will see perennial fan favorite, Nate ‘The Stockton Badboy’ Diaz (20-13) opposite former top-ranked Lightweight contender, Tony ‘El Cucuy’ Ferguson, who is returning to the 170-pound weight class for this last minute upgraded assignmen.

The co-main is sure to be a barnburner. We will be treated to the undefeated No. 3-ranked contender, Khamzat Chimaev (11-0) battling with Kevin ‘Trailblazer’ Holland now.

As if that weren’t enough excitement for one night, the UFC is also showcasing a must see tilt between ‘The Leech’ Jingliang Li and ‘D-Rod’, Daniel Rodriguez. Prior to that in our main card opener we get the much-anticipated scrap between Light Heavyweights, the idiosyncratic Johnny Walker, and the wicked Ion Cutelaba.
