(Via FightMag.com) UFC 218 takes place at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Saturday December 2. The main card live on Pay-Per-View features five bouts, with the featherweight title contested in the headliner of the show.
The reigning featherweight champion Max Holloway defends the belt facing off Jose Aldo. The latter is a replacement for the previously announced Frankie Edgar, who was forced to pull out from the contest due to injury earlier this month.

Also on the main card heavyweight Alistair Overeem takes on Francis Ngannou. Henry Cejudo meets Sergio Pettis at flyweight. Lightweight Eddie Alvarez battles out against Justin Gaethje. In addition, Tecia Torres and Michelle Waterson square the differences at women’s strawweight.
