UFC Norfolk: Full card and Schedule for the Fight Night
TWO WEC ALUMS WILL HEADLINE UFC’s first visit to the Hampton Roads area of Virginia as these two veterans look to keep pace in the lightweight division.
Following a two-fight drop to featherweight, Pettis returned to the division he once ruled in July with a unanimous decision win over Jim Miller, his first win in the 155-pound weight class since he successfully defended the title against Gilbert Melendez at UFC 181. Refocused and ready to build off his victory over the gritty Garden State resident, this fight is an opportunity for Pettis to prove he’s capable of climbing to the top of the division again.
Poirier also picked up a victory over Miller earlier this year, besting the blue-collar veteran in February before his clash with Eddie Alvarez at UFC 211 ended in controversy. With that rivalry on hold for the moment, “The Diamond” enters in search of the biggest win of his career and the kind of performance that can carry him into the title conversation.
In the co-main event, Matt Brown will go up against Diego Sanchez in a fight which guarantees violence for the fans. The showdown between Joe Lauzon and Clay Guida carry similar expectations.
The Fight Night will also mark the return of Andrei Arlovski. Arlovski will be facing Junio Albini in the event in an attempt to rise up the ranks of UFC’s Heavyweight division.
Fights of John Dodson, Sage Northcutt, Angela Hill and Nina Ansaroff would be the major attractions of the preliminary card.
