Jared Cannonier and Sean Strickland's middleweight contest tops the bill of another UFC Fight Night at the Apex.
After losing to former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya at UFC 276, Cannonier will be hoping to return to winning ways after five wins in his last six fights before facing Adesanya.
Strickland also featured at UFC 276, but found himself on the wrong end of a first round knockout against Alex Pereira which brought an end to a six-fight winning streak.
A victory for either man in Las Vegas will not only end the year on a positive note, but it will also put them back in the mix for a middleweight title shot further down the line.
