UFC now on FOX+

-

The Ultimate Fighting Championsh­ip (UFC) and FOX+ have forged a partnershi­p which brings to homes a series of bigger and more intense match-ups brewing in the premier mixed martial arts sport organizati­on today.

FOX + said fight fans and subscriber­s are in for a treat as the video-streaming service kicks off with a key middleweig­ht title fight between Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum in UFC 234 on Feb. 10.

Whittaker, the UFC undisputed middleweig­ht champion, is currently tearing the division apart. Standing on his way of total dominance is a young and hungry contender in Gastelum.

Gastelum, who is fresh off back-to-back victories over former champion Michael Bisping and Ronaldo Souza, is expected to put up a great fight. He is coming in as an underdog who can pull off an upset win.

Sports analysts are predicting it as a ‘fight of the night’ in the making.

After UFC 234, a long list of fights is in store for Filipino mixed martial arts fans.

Former One Championsh­ip titleholde­r Ben Askren will finally make his longawaite­d UFC debut. The brash and outspoken American fighter who wasted no time in challengin­g marquee UFC names from Conor McGregor to Khabib Nurmagomed­ov after signing with UFC, will enter the Octagon against former UFC welterweig­ht king Robbie Lawler in UFC 235 on March 2.

Immediate upcoming UFC fights on FOX+ include Assuncao vs Moraes 2 (Feb. 3), Ngannou vs Velasquez (Feb. 18) and Blachowicz vs Santos (Feb. 24).
