Bengaluru, October 20: The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Poland for the first time since 2015 with UFC Fight Night 118: Cerrone Vs Till on Saturday (October 21) at Ergo Arena in Gdańsk.

In the UFC Gdansk main event Donald Cerrone takes on undefeated Englishman Darren Till in a Welterweight bout. Till will undoubtedly have his toughest test to date. Although Cerrone has lost his last two fights, he's still among the best the UFC has to offer.

While in the co-main event Polish native Karolina Kowalkiewicz is set for a homecoming as she takes on UFC newcomer Jodie Esquibel in Women's strawweight bout. Kowalkiewicz is on the back of a submission loss to Claudia Gadelha, so she will look to dispatch Esquibel quickly and get back into the title contention.

The unbeaten hometown middleweight, Oskar Piechota kicks off the main card in Gdansk by welcoming Jonathan Wilson for his first fight outside the United States. And light heavyweight scrappers Jan Blachowicz and Devin Clark are also set to battle in the main card.

On the preliminary card, Sam Alvey was a late replacement for Trevor Smith and will fight debutant Ramazan Emeev in a Middleweight bout. While, The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 3 middleweight winner Warlley Alves takes on another debutant Salim Touahri in a welterweight bout.

Also on the card are some interesting new prospects in Oskar Piechota, Aspen Ladd and Nasrat Haqparast.
