Last Modified Mar 6, 2020 16:39 GMT

UFC 248: Adesanya vs. Romero is the upcoming pay-per-view MMA event produced by the UFC which is scheduled to take place of 7th March, 2020 inside the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, Las Vegas.

After last month's high-octane UFC 247 card which saw Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes go to hell and back in a thrilling five-round contest for the UFC light heavyweight title, the promotion brings to us another brilliantly stacked card that will see two titles being defended on the same night.

In a spectacular main event, we will witness the charismatic Israel 'The Last Stylebender' Adesanya go up against 'The Soldier of God' Yoel Romero in a five-round contest for the UFC Middleweight Championship. This will be Adesanya's first title defense and he will be looking to turn on the style when he locks horns with the 2000 Olympics silver medalist Romero inside the Octagon on Saturday night.

In the co-headliner of the night, reigning champion Zhang Weili will face former queen of the Strawweight division, Joanna Jedrzejczyk in a fight of epic proportions with the UFC Women's Strawweight title on the line.
