Middleweight prospect Phil Hawes is likely to be showcased on this weekend's main card

Unfortunately, the UFC hasn’t announced a bout order for UFC Vegas 26, meaning we’ve got little idea as to which fights will be showcased on the main card and which will be on the prelims.

To add to the top two fights, a further nine bouts are set to take place this weekend, ranging from fights in the heavyweight division all the way down to the strawweight division.
