Two weeks after UFC 270, mixed martial arts’ flagship promotion is back this weekend as middleweight contenders go head-to-head at the Apex institute in Las Vegas.

Jack Hermansson takes on Sean Strickland in the main event, with each man looking to work his way towards a title shot.

Sweden’s Hermansson (22-6) has won two of his last four bouts and enters this contest on the back of a win against Edmen Shahbazyan last May, while Strickland (24-3) has won five in a row.

The American’s last outing saw him beat Uriah Hall in July and he currently sits at No7 in the middleweight rankings, while Hermansson is sixth.

Here’s all you need to know about this weekend’s event, which comes a week before a middleweight title rematch between Israel Adesanya and former champion Robert Whittaker.

When is it?

The Fight Night will take place on Saturday 5 February at the UFC Apex institute in Las Vegas.

The prelims are scheduled to begin at 9pm GMT (1pm PT, 3pm CT, 4pm ET), with the main card following at 12am GMT (4pm PT, 6pm CT, 7pm ET) on Sunday morning.
