UFC 228 takes place on Saturday, September 8, 2018 in the American Airlines Arena Center in Dallas, Texas.
The principal card airs live on pay-per-view starting 10 p.m. ET following the FS1 prelims.
Two title fights top UFC 228, a card which also features some of the best girls in the game. Welterweight kingpin Tyron Woodley will eventually come back to defend his title against kickboxer Darren Till in a classic wrestler vs. striker matchup. Till has been the hottest 170-pounder in 2018, and now the brash Brit tests himself against the best.
Valentina Shevchenko was tabbed as a future 125-pound champ as soon as the UFC established the weight class. But present winner Nicco Montano has experienced a litany of minor injuries which kept her from competing. Obviously, that devolved into accusations of ducking, however, Montano is finally healthy and ready to throw down.
Jessica Andrade vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz is pretty much a title eliminator. KK gets the distinction of being the last fighter to become current champ Rose Namajunas, although there are a lot of fans that believe Andrade would bulldoze against the champ. With no context, I’m always down to see Andrade bomb and piledrive away.
Let’s not leave out the men either: a featherweight matchup between Yair Rodriguez and Zabit Magomedsharipov is hot at the moment. The two dudes fight as they’re living in the matrix, throwing high-flying kicks and turning sh*t with reckless abandon. It is a fight that Zabit has been requesting for, and following some play with Dana White, Yair is in for the win. This really is one of the most electrifying matchups of the year.
Who else? John Dodson takes on Jimmie Rivera in a contest with large bantamweight stakes. Rivera is somebody whose been knocking on the door to a title shot, but a fast loss to Marlon Moraes finished a 20-fight winning streak, along with the hopes of challenging for the strap anytime soon.
