When is UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs. Burns?
UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs. Burns is broadcasting from the UFC APEX facility in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 30. UFC was awaiting a vote by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, and the decision came that allowed this event to happen in the state.

UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs. Burns — The Main Event Preview
Tyron Woodley (19-4-1) is the top ranked welterweight contender, and all he wants is a chance to reclaim his championship belt. Woodley hasn't fought since he lost his title to current champion Kamaru Usman over a year ago at UFC 235. Woodley saw one fight lost due to injury, and another cancelled due to COVID-19 related issues.
Before losing to Usman, Tyron reigned as the welterweight champion for almost three years, including two back to back title fights against Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson. Through it all, Woodley has stayed on the Top Pound-for-Pound rankings, so he's hoping one win could put him back in the cage with Usman.
Gilbert Burns (18-3) is the sixth ranked welterweight fighter, but he's only been back up at this weight class for a few months. Burns has fought the majority of his UFC career as a lightweight even though he started out as a welterweight.
Watch Tyron Woodley in action in this Free Fight against Robbie Lawler back in UFC 201.
Since he moved back up in weight, he's 3-0 including two wins in back to back months last fall. At lightweight he had success, but was unable to crack the highest levels after three losses in four years. Now he's ready to put his undefeated welterweight record on the line, and a win over Woodley could propel him up into the top five rankings.
