UFC Vegas 109 preview, start time, full fight card, how to watch, live stream as Roman Dolidze fights Anthony Hernandez

UFC Vegas 109 sees another exciting fight card featuring two future title contenders in the main event on August 9.

Just one week after UFC Vegas 108 came to the UFC Apex, Roman Dolidze faces Anthony Hernandez in a Middleweight main event fight.

That is the main fight on a ten-bout card, which should wow fans on August 9. Here is everything you need to know about UFC Vegas 109.

Hyun Sung Park withdrew from UFC Vegas 109 for a main event fight with Tatsuro Taira

One fight that was booked for UFC Vegas 109 but has now been cancelled was the Flyweight clash between Hyun Sung Park and Steve Erceg.

An injury to Amir Albazi before UFC Vegas 108 forced him to pull out of his fight with Tatsuro Taira, with the UFC scrambling to find a replacement on short notice.

Undefeated South Korean fighter Park was drafted in for the bout after going 3-0 in his first three fights in the promotion.

As a consequence, his bout with Erceg has been cancelled, with no planned new date for the Flyweight clash.
