The UFC heads to the fight capital of the world on Saturday night for UFC 235 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Recent fight cards haven't exactly boasted a ton of depth, but this weekend's event looks like one of the deepest pay-per-views of the year.

- Jon Jones vs. Anthony Smith for the light heavyweight championship.
- Tyron Woodley vs. Kamaru Usman for the welterweight championship.
- Robbie Lawler vs. Ben Askren, who is undefeated professionally but will be making his debut inside the octagon.
- Tecia Torres vs. Weili Zhang in a matchup between rising women's strawweight contenders.
- Cody Garbrandt vs. Pedro Munhoz in the former champion's first fight since losing his rematch to T.J. Dillashaw at UFC 227
