In aceasta noapte va avea loc UFC 160, show in care Cain Velasquez va incerca sa isi apere centura la categoria grea in fata brazilianului Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva. Primul meci dintre ei s-a incheiat in prima runda, cu o victorie categorica a lui Velasquez. In co-main-event, precedentul campion Junior Dos Santos se bate cu Mark Hunt, castigatorul avand sanse mari sa devine #1 contender. Un alt meci care va stabili un nou pretendent la titlu este la categoria lightweight, intre Gray Maynard si TJ Grant. In main card mai sunt Glover Teixeira vs. James Te-Huna si Donald Cerrone vs. KJ Noons. Si in undercard vor fi lupte foarte interesante, iesind in evidenta Nurmagomedov vs. Trujillo. Veteranul Mike Pyle va incerca sa continue seria de KO-uri in fata lui Rick Story, in timp ce la featherweight vedem un meci intre doi tineri extrem de talentati: Dennis Bermudez si Max Holloway. In preliminariile de pe Facebook revine dupa un an si jumatate fostul campion WEC Bantamweight, Brian Bowles, care se va bate cu George Roop. Iata cardul complet:
