Bengaluru, November 23: The Ultimate Fighting Championship return to China this weekend to host UFC Fight Night 141: Balydes vs. Ngannou 2 at the Cadillac Arena in Beijing on Saturday (November 24).

The UFC will be making their first visit to Beijing and second visit to Mainland China as the weekend's event follows last year's UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Gastelum in Shanghai.

The main event will feature heavyweight title contenders Francis Ngannou and Curtis Blaydes going head to head in a rematch. While, the co-main will also feature another heavyweight contender in Alistair Overeem, who meets promotional newcomer Sergey Pavlovich.

Ngannou defeated Blaydes via a second-round TKO when they met in April 2016 at Fight Night: Rothwell vs. Dos santos and went on four-fight winning streak. But, the Predator has dropped two fights since. His most recent outing was a decision loss to Derrick Lewis at UFC 226.

Blaydes, meanwhile, is on a unbeaten run since his defeat to Ngannou and has three stoppage wins to top of that streak. The Razor's last outing was a third-round TKO win over Overeem at UFC 225. So, the fight has all the makings of highlight reel finish with the title shot is sight for the pair.

Overeem, who has lost to the headliners of the event will look to snap debutant Pavlovich's unbeaten streak in MMA. The Russian has a 12-fight undeated streak with nine of those victories coming via stoppage. So, another stoppage win can not be ruled out for the pair.

The rest of the main card as expected is packed with locals featuring the likes of Li Jingliang and Song Yadong. China's own, "The Leech" and Yadong will meet promotion's newcomers David Zawada and Vince Morales.

Meanwhile, in the early prelims we will see more Asian and local talent like Kenan Song, who will take on Alex Morono in a welterweight bout. Plus, we will also see Jessica Aguilar, Louis Smolka and Syuri Kondo in action.
