UFC Fight Night 117 takes place at the Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland. Darren Till puts his undefeated record on the line when he steps into the cage against UFC veteran and fan favorite, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the main event.
The co-main event takes place in the women’s strawweight division where Poland’s own, Karolina Kowalkiewicz will look to put a halt to a two-fight skid against UFC newcomer Jodie Esquibel.
The main card also includes another native of Poland as Jan Blachowicz steps into the cage opposite Devin Clark and Polish born Oskar Piechota makes his promotional debut against Jonathan Wilson.
