The UFC returns from an off week tonight (February 21) for a UFC Fight Night event at the Toyota Center in Houston, TX.

The main event will see former UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland try to return to title contention when he takes on #4-ranked Anthony Hernandez, who is riding the momentum of an impressive eight-fight win streak.

The night’s co-main event is also a pivotal contest for the welterweight division, as Geoff Neal will try to defend his spot in the Top 15 when he takes on Uros Medic, who has never seen the judges’ scorecards in his 15-fight professional MMA career.
