The UFC’s final show of the year is just a day away. The promotion’s year-end show is not exactly a tentpole event, filled—instead—with mostly talent still looking to make a name for themselves in the Octagon.

The main event does include a former title challenger, though. Jared Cannonier, who dropped a decision to then middleweight champion Israel Adesanya at UFC 276, is facing off with Sean Strickland, who lost to new champ Alex Pereira at the same event.

The co-main are lightweights Arman Tsarukyan and Damir Ismagulov. Also on the main card we have a quartet of tough vets, with Alex Caceres vs. Julian Erosa and Drew Dober vs. Bobby Green.

The prelims are headlined by strawweight prospects Cheyanne Vlismas and Cory McKenna. Also on the prelims are Jake Matthews vs. Mat Semelsberger (why, I don’t know) and Said Nurmagomedov vs. Saidyokub Kakhramnonov.

But before we get these fights we’ve got our last UFC weigh-in of the year! Keep it locked on this post for any of the drama that might ensue.
