This shapes up to be a year with plenty of title rematches in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Israel Adesanya-Robert Whittaker takes place in the UFC 271 main event on Saturday in Houston, while Aljamain Sterling-Petr Yan and Julianna Pena-Amanda Nunes are already confirmed. Valentina Shevchenko seems likely to rematch Jessica Andrade and/or Katlyn Chookagian, with Deiveson Figueiredo-Brandon Moreno 4 at least under consideration.
