UFC 180: Werdum vs. Hunt viewing and schedule guide
A new interim heavyweight champion will be crowned in the main event of UFC 180 as the promotion embarks on a journey to Mexico for the first time ever.
Fabricio Werdum, who has gone undefeated since joining the UFC, will look to keep his streak alive while adding the UFC title to his already impressive resume when he takes on ageless wonder Mark Hunt, who just keeps finding a way to win and stay at the top of the division just months away from his 41st birthday.
Also on the card, former Ultimate Fighter winner Kelvin Gastelum will attempt to stay undefeated while taking on his toughest test to date when he takes on top 10 welterweight, Jake Ellenberger, who looks to stop the bleeding after dropping his last two fights in a row.
