UFC Fight Night: Gaethje vs. Vick fight card and bout order
Check out the full fight card and bout order for UFC Fight Night: Gaethje vs. Vick on Saturday, August 25th in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The UFC is back after two consecutive weekends off, and they’re capping off August with the return of Justin Gaethje. In need of a win after suffering back-to-back losses, the former WSOF lightweight champ will take on rising contender James Vick, who is in his first career UFC main event spot.
Co-main event honors go to featherweights Michael Johnson and Andre Fili, which is really a must-win for “The Menace” at this point given he’s lost five of his last six. Also of note is a matchup between John Moraga and Deiveson Figueiredo, which is the first non-title men’s flyweight bout to appear on a UFC main card in 2018. Amazing, isn’t it?
James Krause moves up to welterweight to take on Warlley Alves in the featured FS2 prelim, while Joanne Calderwood marks her return in the featured Fight Pass slot against Kalindra Faria.
