UFC reveals full cards for two May ESPN events

Eight days away from their first pay-per-view since March 7th, the UFC announced their full cards for two additional events that will round out a seven day, three event stretch — all at Jacksonville, Florida’s VyStar Memorial Arena.

Following Saturday’s UFC 249, the world’s top MMA organization will hold shows the following Wednesday and Saturday on ESPN+ and expected to be simulcast on ESPN.

The Wednesday, May 13th lineup, main evented by by light heavyweight contenders Anthony Smith vs. Glover Teixeira will also feature:

Ovince Saint Preux vs. Ben Rothwell
Alex Hernandez vs. Drew Dober
Ricky Simon vs. Ray Borg
Karl Roberson vs. Marvin Vettori
Andrei Arlovski vs. Philipe Lins
Michael Johnson vs. Thiago Moises
Sijara Eubanks vs. Sarah Moras
Hunter Azure vs. Brian Kelleher

The Saturday, May 16th lineup, main evented by heavyweight contenders Alistair Overeem vs. Walt Harris will also feature:

Claudia Gadelha vs. Carla Esparza
Dan Ige vs. Edson Barboza
Eryk Anders vs. Krzysztof Jotko
Song Yadong vs. Marlon Vera
Anthony Hernandez vs. Kevin Holland
Mike Davis vs. Giga Chikadze
Cortney Casey vs. Mara Romero Borella
Darren Elkins vs. Nate Landwehr
Rodrigo Nascimento vs. Don’Tale Mayes

The UFC has yet to announce any shows past the triple dip in Jacksonville, but it has been their desire to get back to a full time schedule of events, preferably at their APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, once cleared to do so.

All of the Jacksonville events will be in front of an empty arena due to coronavirus pandemic regulations.
