UFC Fight Night 228: How to watch Fiziev vs Gamrot, time, odds, more
The UFC stays home in Las Vegas this week with lightweight contenders at the top of the lineup.
Here’s how to watch UFC Fight Night 228 with 155-pound sluggers in action.
UFC Fight Night 228 has a main card that begins at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+. The prelims stream on ESPN+, as well, beginning at 4 p.m. ET.
After a six-fight winning streak, Rafael Fiziev (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) had his momentum halted in March with a majority decision loss to Justin Gaethje. The fight did, however, lead to Fiziev’s sixth straight $50,000 post-fight bonus with Fight of the Night honors. Prior to the Gaethje setback, Fiziev’s wins include a fifth-round knockout of former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos in his first UFC main event.
Mateusz Gamrot (22-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) rebounded from a loss to Beneil Dariush when he took a split call from Jalin Turner in March. Before his setback to Dariush, Poland’s Gamrot had a four-fight streak with stoppages of Scott Holtzman, Jeremy Stephens and Diego Ferreira, plus a decision over Arman Tsarukyan. Three of those four wins picked up $50,000 bonus awards.
After a 15-0 start to his career, featherweight Bryce Mitchell (15-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) experienced a loss for the first time this past December when he was submitted by Ilia Topuria. A planned return in May never materialized when he had to pull out of a fight with Movsar Evloev with a back injury. Now to get back on track, he’ll have to get through Dan Ige (17-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC), who has back-to-back wins, including a bonus-winning knockout of Damon Jackson. Those wins are on the heels of a rough patch of four losses in five fights.
If you feel a sense of deja vu, it’s understandable. It’s only been a little more than two years since Marina Rodriguez (16-3-2 MMA, 6-3-2 UFC) outworked Michelle Waterson-Gomez (18-11 MMA, 6-7 UFC) for 25 minutes in a main event in Las Vegas, but a weight class up at flyweight. They’ll try run it back, but at strawweight – and for three rounds instead of five. Both need to snap skids. Waterson-Gomez’s current three-fight skid started with her loss to Rodriguez, who now has lost two straight herself.
The women’s bantamweight division may have a new “Monster” on its hands when Montserrat Rendon (5-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) steps in the cage for her promotional debut against Tamires Vidal (7-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC). Their fight opens the card. Rendon, from Mexico, is a 2-1 underdog against Brazil’s Vidal, who has three straight knockout wins.
