Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is back on FOX Sports 1 for the second time this month, bringing a midweek melee to "Circle City" with UFC Fight Night 27: "Condit vs. Kampmann 2," which emanates TONIGHT from Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Headlining the network's sophomore mixed martial arts (MMA) effort is a welterweight rematch that pits former division interim champion Carlos Condit up against longtime 170-pound stalwart Martin Kampmann. "The Hitman" bested "The Natural Born Killer" when they first met back in 2009.
A lot has changed since then -- for both fighters.
The co-main event features an electric 155-pound battle with the ever-dangerous Donald Cerrone taking on submission wizard Rafael dos Anjos. "Cowboy" wants to prove he still belongs among the lightweight elite while the Brazilian wants to extend his winning streak to five straight.
