UFC with two bombastic gala nights in March

MMA fans will be rewarded by the UFC with as many as two bombastic gala nights in the month of March, after witnessing the controversial duel between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski last week.

The largest and most prestigious mixed martial arts organization will offer the long-awaited spectacle - the return of Jon Jones and his debut in the heavyweight division - at UFC 285 on March 5. The former light heavyweight champion will fight for the vacant belt in the "royal division" against Cyril Gunn.

Just 13 days later, we will see the third episode of Kamaru Usman's rivalry with Lyon Edwards, and that in London. Edwards sensationally knocked out the Nigerian in August last year and took the welterweight title from him. Now the reigning champion is giving revenge, and his reward is not only a higher fee for the clash, but also an opportunity to perform in front of his home audience in the "O2" hall.

On April 8, an equally intriguing duel awaits us between the new middleweight champion Alex Pereira and the former hegemon in the division Israel Adesanya. The event will take place in Miami, where there has not been a UFC gala night since April 2003. So far, it is known that UFC 288 will take place on May 6, but there is no confirmation about the fights and the venue of the event.
