After capping off a series of eight straight fight cards with an explosive UFC 260 pay-per-view event on March 27, the UFC has taken a break this weekend.
The UFC will return on April 11th with UFC on ABC 2. The card was originally scheduled to be headlined by a potential middleweight title eliminator bout between 'The Italian Dream' Marvin Vettori and Liverpool's own Darren Till.
Following Darren Till's withdrawal from the fight card due to a clavicle injury, Kevin Holland said he would step in to fight Vettori on a 10-day notice. However, the UFC is yet to officially announce the bout.
The card will be the second-ever UFC event to be broadcasted on the ABC network, after UFC on ABC 1: Holloway vs Kattar.
