Hello everyone and welcome to 411mania’s LIVE coverage of UFC on ESPN 26. I’m Robert Winfree and I’ll be your host for the evening. On the heels of the very successful UFC 264 the UFC is back on ESPN. Tonight we’ve got a decent card on paper, featuring a very relevant main event. Top ten contender Islam Makhachev is trying to extend his current winning streak and earn a shot at someone in the top 5 or so for his next fight. Standing in his way is Thiago Moises who’s looking to spring a serious upset and prove himself a rising contender to whom attention should be payed. Your co-main event sees the return of former champion Miesha Tate who’s ending a 5 year or so retirement when she takes on the announced retiring Marion Reneau. Elsewhere on the card Rodolfo Vieira is back in action, Francisco Figueiredo tries to go 2-0 in the UFC, and Daniel Rodriguez usually provides an entertaining fight.
