Israel Adesanya and Yoel Romero headline a strong UFC 248 card that features two title fights in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Adesanya could well be the next big thing in the UFC. His electric style, penchant for knockouts and engaging personality give him all the ingredients. Sustained success as a champion serves as the next hurdle in his career progression.

Standing in his way is one of the scariest dudes in the sport in Romero. The hulking middleweight possesses a combination of size and athleticism rarely seen in the division.

The second title fight is a big opportunity for women's strawweight champion Weili Zhang.
