Now that UFC Fight Night 141 is almost here, the card has shaped up to have quite a few interesting matchups.
While the card is more focused on local talent performing, the main event and the co-main event both feature excellent bouts which have a lot of interest focused on them.
While the main event is between two former rivals in the shape of Curtis Blaydes and Francis Ngannou meeting for the second time in their careers, the co-main event features Alistair Overeem and the debutant, Sergey Pavlovich.
Lower down the card in the two other main card fights, Vince Morales is a late step-in replacement for Frankie Saenz who had to step away from the fight due to injury. The same counts for David Zawada who stepped in for Elizeu Zaleski Dos Santos who had to pull out due to another injury.
