UFC 180 is set to make fans excited with the pairings and matchups between equally skilled and talented MMA artists. This November, four fights have been scheduled and they can be viewed either live or via livestream. Below are the list of the matches, fight dates and what the people can expect:
1. Michael Bisping versus Luke Rockhold
The two are expected to fight on November 7 at the UFC Fight Pass card in Australia. According to Bloody Elbow, the two are middleweight rivals who will clash in an exciting matchup. Bisping's last appearance in Australia was his loss to Wanderlei Silva four years ago. Rockhold, on the other hand, fought with Tim Boetsch last April.
Bloody Elbow added that the fighters have fought verbally in the past and it would be an interesting scenario to see them really fight inside the Octagon.
2. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua versus Jimi Manuwa
Shogun and Manua will face off at Fight Night 56 on Nov. 8 and will combine two powerhouse players in the UFC light heavyweight division.
Bleacher Report said that Rua will be a tough fighter to beat because he is considered one of the "top-ranked" talents in the UFC.
"This is going to be a good fight for the crowd and the fans. [Manuwa] is a good striker. He goes in there and tries to finish fights, and so do I. That is why I think it has all the tools to be an aggressive show for all the fans. I think it will be a great fight," Rua said.
He also said that he is happy to fight in Brazil for the main event. "It has me very motivated to go out there and get the win."
3. Fabricio Werdum versus Mark Hunt
This main event fight will happen on Nov. 15 and it will be for the UFC heavyweight interim title. Yahoo Sports said that this fight will indeed be a tough one since the fans and even sports analysts could not decide on who will bring home the victory between the two fighters. But reports said that Hunt has incredible "kickboxing credential" and his spot on striking fist also gives him the advantage in this fight.
Werdum, on the other hand, would want to slam Hunt down on the canvas on his back and take home victory. In terms of wrestling, Yahoo Sports said that Werdum needs to be careful of his moves as this may put his guard down on the game.
4. Frankie Edgar versus Cub Swanson
This major fight, according to a separate Bloody Elbow report, will be for the featherweight title set on November 22 in Austin, Texas. Whoever wins this matchup is expected to schedule for a title shot in the coming months.
Live streaming of all these fights can be accessed through UFC Live.
