UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Rodriguez Full Card Preview
After a pair of stellar cards, the UFC returns to earth this week with a relatively quiet UFC Vegas 42 on Saturday, Nov. 13, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
While the 11-fight card doesn’t boast the top-to-bottom stacked cards of weeks past, the headliner is still a banger, as Max Holloway and Yair Rodriguez square off in a featherweight bout.
Don’t forget to check back on Saturday for Question Mark Kicks, as Matt and Craig give their final thoughts on every fight two hours before the fights start.
The card is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
