The UFC continues its International Tour with a stop at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia for UFC Fight Night 121. The main event takes place in the heavyweight division where Fabricio Werdum takes on Marcin Tybura.
Werdum steps back into the cage after picking up a quick victory over Walt Harris at UFC 216. The Brazilian is 2-2, alternating wins and losses over his last four fights. Marcin Tybura is 3-1 under the UFC banner and currently on a three fight winning streak. His most recent fight was at UFC Fight Night 111 where he where he decisioned Andrei Arlovski.
The co-main event takes us to the women’s flyweight division where Bec Rawlings goes up against the debuting Jessica-Rose Clark. Rawlings will be looking to put a halt to a two-fight losing streak. Her latest loss occurred at UFC Fight Night 104 where she dropped a decision to Tecia Torres.
The main card also includes Tim Means vs. Belal Muhammad in what should be a very exciting fight, Australian Jake Matthews vs. Bojan Velickovic, Elias Theodorou vs. Dan Kelly and Alexander Volkanovski vs. Humberto Bandenay.
