The UFC returns to the APEX Arena tonight to deliver a top contender middleweight fight.

Brazil's Michel Pereira rides an eight-fight winning streak as he takes on 'Fluffy' Anthony Hernandez, a middleweight dark horse steadily on the rise. Does Pereira's explosivity neutralise the underrated submission threat of Hernandez?

In the co-main, perennial bantamweight contender Rob Font defends his Top-10 ranking against Kyler Phillips, a dynamic striker and well-rounded mixed martial artist. The undercard also features the return of fan-favorite fighters Charles Johnson, Jake Hadley, Darren Elkins, and Matheus Nicolau.
