Who is fighting on UFC 311 this weekend?

UFC 311 is set to be the promotion’s first pay-per-view of the year. The card will be headlined by a lightweight championship matchup between Islam Makhachev and Arman Tsarukyan. For those unaware, it is a rematch between the two. They have previously fought against each other in the past and it was Makhachev who emerged on top.

Since then, Makhachev has established his dominance on the lightweight division and has gone on to win the lightweight championship as well. While Tsarukyan is certainly a tough contender to beat, Makhachev is still going to the fight as a favorite. Also on the card, Merab Dvalishvili will defend his UFC bantamweight championship against Umar Nurmagomedov. 

This would mark Dvalishvili’s first title defense since winning the title against Sean O’Malley last year. The two have a lot of bad blood between themselves and it will certainly make for a good fight. Also on the main card, two former UFC light heavyweight champions will lock horns. Jiri Prochazka will take on Jamahal Hill as both fighters look to fight for a title in their next fight.
