UFC returns to network television in two weeks (January 27, 2018) with UFC on Fox 27 in Orlando, Florida. The event is scheduled to be headlined by a middleweight rematch between Jacare Souza and Derek Brunson.
Souza (24-5 1 no contest), is the former Strikeforce middleweight champion. He has gone 7-2 inside the Octagon, most recently losing via TKO to current UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker last April. Brunson (18-5) is currently riding a two-fight win streak and most recently knocked out former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida this past October. Of note, Brunson and Souza fought back in Strikeforce early in Brunson’s career, with Souza winning via first round knockout.
The 12-fight card also features a light heavyweight contest between contenders Ovince St. Preux and Ilir Latifi. St. Preux has won three straight bouts while Latifi most recently knocked off Tyson Pedro. The winner of this bout will be one step closer to a title shot considering both men are ranked in the top 10 at 205 pounds.
Other intriguing contests include the return of Mirsad Bektic against Godofredo Pepey, Kaitlyn Chookagian’s debut in the women’s flyweight division and a featherweight contest between Dennis Bermudez and Andre Fili.
