UFC Reveals All Matchups for May 13 and 16 Cards
With just a few weeks until the UFC returns to action, Dana White and company have announced the full lineups for the upcoming shows on May 13 (UFC Jacksonville) and 16 (UFC Florida).
As reported earlier, the main event of the May 13 card will be Anthony Smith v. Glover Teixeira in a light heavyweight bout. The co-main will feature Ovince Saint Preux moving up to heavyweight to face Ben Rothwell. Additional fights added that were not announced until now include Hunter Azure v. Brian Kelleher and Michael Johnson v. Thiago Moises.
The main event of the May 16 card will be Alistair Overeem v. Walt Harris. The co-main event will be a strawweight bout featuring Claudia Gadelha v. Angela Hill. This will be Hill’s (12-7) sixth fight since the start of 2019, and third since January 2020. She is currently on a three-fight win streak, last beating Loma Lookboonmee in February via unanimous decision.
Gadelha (17-4) is 2-2 in her last four fights and won her last bout against Randa Markos back in July. She was supposed to face Marina Rodriguez at UFC Oklahoma City on May 2 but it was postponed due to the coronavirus.
