Krönikor – Fighter Magazine

Den 14 april 2024 markerar en betydelsefull milstolpe i UFCs historia då vi bjuds på en gala fylld till bristningsgränsen med stjärnor från topp till botten. Spektaklet kröns av tre titelmatcher: I huvudmatchen siktar Jamahal Hill på att återta titeln i lätt tungvikt från den nuvarande mästaren, Alex Pereira; i stråvikt möter Mästarinnan Zhang Weili sin landsman Yan Xiaonan; och Justin Gaethje möter Max Holloway i en kamp om BMF-titeln.

Men, som om det inte räcker så bjuder UFC även på matcher med tidigare UFC-mästare som Charles Oliveira, Aljamain Sterling, Holly Holm, Cody Garbrandt, Deiveson Figueiredo och garnerar med namn som Bo Nickal, Kayla Harrison, Jim Miller och Bobby Green. Vilken fest! Och här kommer försnacket.
