3 Biggest and Best UFC Fights Left in July
UFC Fight Night: Whitaker vs. Till is one of the most stacked cards of the year, especially considering it’s not even a UFC pay-per-view event.
The top three fights on the card are solid scraps that should produce fireworks inside the Octagon while also helping to decide the future of the middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions.
Robert Whittaker vs. Darren Till
Former UFC middleweight champion Whittaker took some time away from the sport but now appears to be locked in for another title run. He takes on former welterweight contender Till who has found new life in the 185-pound division. Both fighters are ranked contenders that could make some noise as title challengers again by scoring victories in Abu Dhabi.
Shogun Rua vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
This light heavyweight scrap between two MMA legends is the trilogy capper between longtime rivals. Their first meeting was under the PRIDE banner in Japan way back in 2005. Rua scored the win via decision. The rematch occurred a whole decade later at UFC 190 in 2015. Once again, Rua beat Nogueira by unanimous decision. Now the two meet for the third and likely final time. Rua is 4-1-1 over his last six fights while Nogueira has lost four out of six.
Alexander Gustafsson vs. Fabricio Werdum
Longtime light heavyweight contender Gustafsson is ending his short-lived retirement to head back into the Octagon to take on former UFC heavyweight champion Werdum in a fight that should produce a viable heavyweight contender. Gustafsson suffered back-to-back losses at 205 lbs but now makes his debut in the heavyweight division with renewed hopes. Werdum lost his last two fights but should provide the test Gustafsson needs to show whether he’s fit for his new weight class or not.
