UFC Schedule

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is gearing up for another exciting night of fights on their busy UFC schedule. This time around, the world’s most famous mixed martial arts promotion is preparing for the highly anticipated fight card of UFC 221.

Headlining the event, interim middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and former title holder Luke Rockhold will battle it out for the definitive middleweight belt. With the night of fights now drawing nearer, the UFC has decided to provide the lineup for UFC 221.

Georges St-Pierre was initially gearing up to defend his middleweight title, with his opponent seemingly targeted as interim champion Robert Whittaker. However, St-Pierre has since become stricken with colitis and has vacated his title in an effort to take some time to recover from his debilitating diagnosis.

As a result, Whittaker and Rockhold will now be battling it out for the belt. UFC 221 goes down Feb. 11 and will take place inside the Perth Arena in Perth, Western Australia.

Here is a look at the official lineup for the upcoming fight card:
