UFC 248: Adesanya vs Romero - Matches, start time, live streaming info, TV channel, how, when and where in US, UK & India

UFC 248 is set to feature a Middleweight Championship fight, with Israel Adesanya defending his title against Yoel Romero. Romero is fighting Adesanya in a title fight that has been a long time coming.

Since arriving in the UFC, Adesanya has been leaving every other fighter behind with win after win, but now, he might have met his match in the form of Romero.

The UFC Women's Strawweight Championship will also be defended at the event with Zhang Weili defending against Joanna Jedrzejczyk. With Weili managing to make her way out of China with the threat of the coronavirus looming over her, it is now up to Joanna to try and take advantage of the distractions that that first-ever Chinese UFC Women's Champion suffered in the lead-up to this fight.

With this, and a lot more on the card, let's take a look at what's waiting for UFC fans at UFC 248, and everything that they need to know about the card.
