On the other hand, Magomed has taken the entire light heavyweight division by storm with his current form. He has risen to the number sixth spot of the division after extending his winning streak to seven at UFC 267.
It is needless to say that this fight is exciting as both light heavyweights are extremely aggressive and hence there is a high potential that we could witness a knockout. Apart from this big main event fight, rising bantamweight Song Yadong is back in action as he takes on Marlon Moraes in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 50.
Marlon Moraes, who is an experienced veteran in the division is on a disastrous three-fight slump and needs to secure a win if he needs to stay in the promotion. Whereas Yadong has a great opportunity to enter the top 10 by defeating Moraes and earning his third straight victory in the division.
With such an exciting set of matchups, fans are sure to be captivated throughout UFC Vegas 50. So let us take a look at the entire fight card of this event.
