UFC 228, which airs live on Pay-Per-View, is headlined by a championship doubleheader featuring Tyron Woodley’s welterweight title defense against Darren Till, and Nicco Montano’s women’s flyweight title defense against Valentina Shevchenko.
In just one year as a UFC fighter, Dagestan’s Magomedsharipov has made quite the impression, winning three bouts over Mike Santiago, Sheymon Moraes and Kyle Bochniak that have netted him three post-fight performance bonuses. Next week, he will look to extend his 11-fight winning streak against the hard-charging Davis, a fearless battler who earned his UFC contract with a win over Austin Arnett and then followed it up with a trio of exciting bouts that have made him – like Magomedsharipov – an instant fan favorite.
