The UFC’s first event in a South American country other than Brazil takes place next month, and it now has an official poster.
UFC Fight Night 128 goes down May 19 at Movistar Arena in Santiago and airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. It’s headlined by a welterweight clash between streaking contenders Kamaru Usman (12-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and Santiago Ponzinibbio (26-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC).

All four fighters appear on the official poster, which you can see below (via Twitter):
