UFC Fight Night 121: Werdum Vs Tybura

Bengaluru, Novembe 17: The Ultimate Fighting Championship travel down under to host UFC Fight Night: Werdum Vs Tybura at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia on Sunday (November 19).

The event will mark the promotion's fifth visit to Sydney, and first since UFC Fight Night: Rockhold Vs Bisping in November 2014.

UFC heavyweight great Fabricio Werdum makes a return to the Octagon in the headliner of Fight Night Sydney to take on No.8 ranked contender Marcin Tybura. The 40-year-old Brazilian looks to continue his push for another title shot against Polish heavyweight Tybura, who is on a three straight win streak.

Werdum replaced Mark Hunt in the event after the Kiwi was pulled from the card by UFC President Dana White due to medical issues.

In the Aussie-on-Aussie co-headliner, Bec Rawlings will look to revive her UFC career after two straight losses when she takes on debutant Jessy Rose-Clark in a women's flyweight bout.

Also on the main card is a feisty All-American Welterweight clash, Tim Means takes on Belal Muhammad. While Alexander Volkanovski will battle New Zealander Shane Young in a welterweight bout.

Middleweight division's Dan Kelly will look to bounce back from his knockout loss against Derek Brunson when he takes on Canadian Elias Theodorou in front of his home crowd.

Likewise, another Australian Jake Matthews who moved up to the welterweight division after consecutive losses at lightweight will look to get back to winning ways against Bojan Velickovic.
