Kevin Lee, UFC Brasilia

On Saturday night, the UFC will return to our screens with the exciting UFC Brasilia card, which will go down in an empty arena thanks to the threat of the coronavirus.

The UFC Brasilia event is expected to be topped by a lightweight contender showdown between former interim title challenger Kevin Lee and streaking finisher Charles “Do Bronx” Oliveira.

UFC Brasilia will be co-headlined by a welterweight fight between former two-division title challenger Demian Maia and rising contender Gilbert Burns. Elsewhere on the card, we’ll witness appearances from big names like Renato Moicano, Johnny Walker, Nikita Krylov, Francis Trinaldo, Jussier Formiga, Brandon Moreno and more.
