The fight card for UFC 248 includes a total of 12 battles, from which the battle between Israel Adesanya vs. Yoel Romero certainly stands out as the stellar fight, and of course, will be the one to close the night, in direct dispute for the UFC’s Middleweight title.

Adesanya vs Romero – Main Fight

This will be a treat, no question there. Adesanya is ready to face his first title defense and Romero is probably one of the toughest challenges he could face at this moment. The champ has a perfect record still, 18-0-0, while the Cuban contender, known as “Soldier of God”, marches into this fight with a 13-4-0 and hoping to steal the title away from the Nigerian.

Adesanya, also known as “The Last Stylebender”, outstands his rival in height, with 6’4” over 6’0”, in reach, with 80 inches over 73.5 from Romero, and also in leg reach, with 44.5 inches over 42 from Yoel, while they both met the weight goal for this battle, 185 pounds. Knowing this, it is no surprise that Israel Adesanya shows up as a heavy favorite in Las Vegas, while Yoel Romero stands as a very dangerous underdog.

Weili vs Jedrzejczyk and the rest of the main card

Women’s Strawweight battle between Chinese sensation Zhang Weili vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk is listed as a co-stellar fight this Saturday in Las Vegas. “Magnum” holds the title, but Jedrzejczyk once held possession of the belt and wants to try to regain the top spot.
