UFC Vegas 28 saw four ranked heavyweights clash in the main and co-main events of the evening. While the bout between Marcin Tybura and Walt Harris served as the co-feature, Augusto Sakai and Jairzinho Rozenstruik headlined UFC Vegas 28.
Apart from the headliner and co-headliner being marked with first-round stoppages, the event also featured a welterweight classic between Santiago Ponzinibbio and Miguel Baeza. While a women's flyweight bout started things off on the UFC Vegas 28 main card, it also had two other middleweight bouts.
