In that featured bout we have Adesanya and Costa going at it in the main event of the UFC 253 PPV event, which is being broadcast from the #UFCFIGHTISLAND Fight Center off Dubai, United Arab Emeritus. Our defending champion: Israel ‘The Last Stylebender’ Adesanya, enters the octagon with an undefeated 19-0 record. The 31-year old Nigerian Champion fighting out of New Zealand has been pitted up against the contender: Paulo ‘The Eraser’ Costa. Our challenger, holding an undefeated 13-0 fight record, enters the octagon a slight underdog. The 29-year old Brazilian brawler has a 3” height and 8” reach deficit going against his efforts to defeat Adesanya tonight. Also on the card, a highly-anticipated light heavyweight scrap for our co-main event; it’s a battle for the UFC Vacant Light Heavyweight Championship between Dominick ‘The Devastator’ Reyes, who enters the octagon a moderate favorite, with a 12-1 record at 30 years of age, taking on fight veteran Jan Blachowicz with his 26-8 record at 37 years of age.
