UFC Fight Night 118 lineup set with 12 bouts on UFC Fight Pass in Gdansk, Poland

The fight card is set for the UFC’s return to Poland later this month for UFC Fight Night 118.

UFC Fight Night 118 takes place Oct. 21 at Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland. The event streams live on UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, former lightweight title challenger and current welterweight Donald Cerrone (32-9 MMA, 19-6 UFC) tries to hand Darren Till (15-0-1 MMA, 3-0-1 UFC) his first professional setback. It will be Cerrone’s first time fighting outside North America since 2007.

In the co-main event, Jodie Esquibel (6-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) takes on former women’s strawweight title challenger Karolina Kowalkiewicz (10-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC). Kowalkiewicz, from Poland, will be looking to snap a two-fight skid – the only losses of her career, which started with a setback to champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Rounding out the four-fight main card, Jan Blachowicz (19-7 MMA, 2-4 UFC) fights in front of his home Polish fans when he takes on Devin Clark (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) at light heavyweight. And Poland’s Oskar Piechota (9-0-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes his promotional debut in a middleweight fight against Jonathan Wilson (7-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC).

The featured fight on the eight-bout preliminary card also is a key one for Polish fans. Former Bellator standout Marcin Held (22-7 MMA, 0-3 UFC) is winless at 0-3 since signing with the UFC. He’ll take on Teemu Packalen (8-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) at lightweight.
