Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming UFC fights

UFC Fight Night 188, headlined by Cody Garbrandt vs Rob Font just concluded last Saturday. The UFC has been bringing fans immense entertainment from time to time, and of late the main events have been super-entertaining.

UFC 262 and UFC 261, which concluded recently were just entertaining on another level.

And finally after quite a few weeks, there are no UFC events this weekend. The promotion returns with an exciting card on the 5th of June at the UFC Apex.

The main event features Jairzinho Rozenstruik returning to action after his disappointing loss against Ciryl Gane, a couple of months ago. He takes on Augusto Sakai, who is the number 9 ranked heavyweight contender.
