The Ultimate Fighting Championship's "Fight Island" series of events ends with UFC on ESPN 14, and all 15 fights are official after the weigh-ins.
The mixed martial arts card is headlined by a bout between former
middleweight champion Robert
Whittaker and Darren Till.
Despite the proud Australian losing to Israel
Adesanya in his last bout, Whittaker (20-5) is still one of the
division's elite. Prior to dropping the championship, Whittaker was
on a nine-fight win streak that included notable names including
Ronaldo
Souza, Derek
Brunson and Yoel Romero
(twice). "Bobby Knuckles" had no issue making weight and came in at
186 pounds.
British striker Till (18-2-1) acclimated nicely in his middleweight debut with a decision win over Kelvin Gastelum. The former welterweight title challenger moved up after suffering his only career defeats to Tyron Woodley and Jorge Masvidal. Till will look to get the biggest win in his career against Whittaker, and "The Gorilla" also hit the middleweight limit of 186 pounds.
One fighter did miss weight: Francisco Trinaldo (160)*, who came in four pounds above the lightweight cap. Trinaldo has been fined 30 percent of his purse, and the bout will go ahead as a 160-pound catchweight contest.
UFC on ESPN 14 will air in its entirety on both ESPN and ESPN+. The prelims start at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT, while the main card kicks off at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
