FOX Sports 1 UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Romero viewing and schedule guide
Former UFC champion Lyoto Machida will look to bounce back after a recent loss when he takes on Olympic silver medalist Yoel Romero in a five round main event capping off UFC Fight Night from Hollywood, Fla.
Machida came up short in his last fight against Luke Rockhold, but the Brazilian is still considered one of the top fighters in the world at 185 pounds.
He'll certainly be tested this weekend as he faces Romero, who is undefeated since coming to the UFC. In his last fight, Romero finished Tim Kennedy in one of the wildest comeback victories in UFC history.
Also on the card, Lorenz Larkin looks to get his second win since dropping down to the middleweight division when he meets equally heavy-handed Brazilian Santiago Ponzinibbio in the co-main event.
To ensure you don't miss any of the action from Florida, here's an easy guide to follow along with for all the places to catch the event this weekend.
