The UFC is back in “Sin City” tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada from the T-Mobile Arena for UFC 222 on pay-per-view (PPV). In the main event of the evening UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” will defend her title against promotional newcomer Yana Kunitskaya. The co-main event will see top featherweights Frankie Edgar and Brian Ortega throw down inside the Octagon, likely for a shot at 145-pound champ Max Holloway next.
Also featured on the main card is a heavy-hitting bantamweight bout, the collision of heavyweights Stefan Struve and ex-UFC heavyweight champ Andrei Arlovski, and the Octagon return of Cat Zingano. Stick with MMA News throughout the night for live fight results:
