UFC Raleigh: ‘Blaydes vs Dos Santos’ Fight Card and Start Times
The UFC is currently going through a bit of a break, but the promotion’s jam-packed 2020 calendar will soon be underway, starting with events like UFC 246 and UFC Raleigh.
While UFC 246 is generating more attention than any other upcoming UFC card, due to the return of Conor McGregor, UFC Raleigh is definitely a card to keep an eye on.
The UFC will be heading to Raleigh for the very first time and to North Carolina for the first time since back in 2018. Curtis Blaydes and Junior dos Santos will meet in the heavyweight main event, with both men hoping to establish themselves as contenders in the race for a title shot against Stipe Miocic.
The following is the fight card as it currently stands ahead of the event on January 25 (via MMA Mania):
