If you’re heading to “Sin City” for this week’s UFC 222 card, you have some fight-week events you can attend for free.
UFC 222 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
In the main event, women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg (19-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) takes on challenger Yana Kunitskaya (10-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who is a massive underdog in her UFC debut. In addition, former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar (22-5-1 MMA, 16-5-1 UFC) meets the unbeaten Brian Ortega (13-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) in a featherweight bout that likely serves as a title eliminator.
