The Octagon remains in Nevada for tonight’s UFC Vegas 19 event, a fourteen-bout fight card headlined by Curtis Blaydes vs. Derrick Lewis.
Blaydes (14-2 MMA) will be stepping foot in the Octagon for the first time since defeating Alexander Volkov by unanimous decision this past June. That win marked Blaydes’ fourth in a row, as he had previously scored victories over Justin Willis, Shamil Abdurakhimov and Junior dos Santos.
Meanwhile, Derrick Lewis (24-7 MMA) will enter tonight’s UFC Vegas 19 event on a three-fight win streak, his latest being a second round TKO victory over Aleksei Oleinik back in August. Prior to that finish, ‘The Black Beast’ had earned victories over Ilir Latifi and Blagoy Ivanov.
UFC Vegas 19 is co-headlined by a women’s bantamweight bout featuring Ketlen Vieira taking on Yana Kunitskaya.
Vieira (11-1 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since September’s UFC 253 event, where she scored a unanimous decision win over Sijara Eubanks. That victory got ‘Fenomeno’ back in the win column, as she had previously suffered a knockout loss to Irena Aldana.
As for Yana Kunitskaya (13-5 MMA), ‘Foxy’ most recently competed this past August, where she earned a unanimous decision victory over Julija Stoliarenko. That win marked Kunitskaya’s third in her past four fights overall.
In addition to Blaydes vs. Lewis, tonight’s UFC Vegas 19 main card also features two other heavyweight matchups. Former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski will be returning to the Octagon for a fight with Tom Aspinall, while submission specialist Aleksei Oleinik takes on Chris Daukaus.
