The UFC’s biggest card of the year takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Topping the bill at MSG will be the eagerly-anticipated welterweight bout between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz, which will see the winner handed the ‘The Baddest Motherf**ker in the Game’ belt from none other than The Rock.
In the co-main event of the evening, Liverpool’s own Darren Till will make his middleweight debut against the hard-hitting Kelvin Gastelum. Also on the card is a tasty welterweight affair between Stephen Thompson and Vincente Luque, as well as a lightweight barnburner between Kevin Lee and Gregor Gillespie.
