UFC Fight Night 217 – January 14

The new season will open in Las Vegas, but after this one, we will see the UFC head out to different spots across the world. There have been a few bouts officially announced for this one, including the following:

Kelvin Gastelum Vs Nassourdine Imavov
Jeff Molina Vs Jimmy Flick

UFC 283 – January 21

Here are a couple of those bouts:

Kim Ji-Yeon Vs Mandy Bohm
Devin Clark Vs Jung Da-Un

UFC 284 – February 12

It’s another long road trip for the fighters involved in this one, with UFC 284 set to take place in Perth, Australia.

Robert Whittaker Vs Paulo Costa
Justin Tata Vs Parker Porter
