‘The Miner’ takes on a major challenge this weekend when UFC returns to the Apex for Fight Night 220. Nikita Krylov headlines in an appetising light heavyweight attraction against Ryan Spann. Ranked sixth and eighth respectively in the 205lb rankings, this main event scrap will have a huge say in the direction of the division going forward.
The co-main event sees world class middleweights take centre stage. Andre Muniz looks to make it ten wins on the trot when he battles former LFA Middleweight champion Brendan Allen. There’s also outings for heavyweight hope Don'Tale Mayes, Ultimate Fighter winner Tatiana Suarez and ex-Paddy Pimblett foe Jordan Leavitt.
