UFC Announces Two Massive Title Fights For Upcoming Fight Card

The UFC has announced two title fights will headline UFC 215 on Sept. 9.

UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson will fight Ray Borg in the main event.

UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes will defend her championship against Valentina Shevchenko in the co-main event.

UFC President Dana White confirmed the two title fights with TSN on Thursday.

Johnson will have the opportunity to break the all-time record for the most consecutive title defenses in UFC history. Johnson currently holds the record at 10 alongside former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva.

Borg is receiving a title opportunity after winning his last two fights. He is coming off wins over Jussier Formiga and Louis Smolka.

Nunes was scheduled to defend her title against Shevchenko earlier this month at UFC 213, but just hours before the fight was scheduled to take place, Nunes withdrew from the fight due to illness.

UFC 215 will take place at the Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
