UFC 232 fight card, rumors, tickets, date, location, start time

The final pay-per-view card of 2018 will take place this Saturday, as UFC 232 comes to us live from The Forum in Inglewood, California. The Forum was not the original venue, however, as the card was forced to be moved from Las Vegas following an abnormality in the drug test for headliner Jon Jones.  The card ended up being saved on just six days' notice, although it was quite the inconvenience for fans who had purchased tickets for the event that was originally scheduled for Las Vegas. UFC has put new tickets on sale for The Forum, and the organization has reasonably priced them, with cageside seats going for around $300.

Jones will make his return from a suspension stemming from his 2017 test failure this Saturday, and when he does, he'll be staring across the Octagon at a very familiar opponent. Jones will be facing Alexander Gustafsson in a rematch of their classic 2015 bout in which Gustafsson gave the then-light heavyweight champion all he could handle. These two will be facing off for the light heavyweight belt once again here at UFC 232, though this time it will be for the title that will be vacated by reigning heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier once that cage door closes.

The co-main event is about that some fans may even admit they're looking forward to a little more than the main event itself. Women's featherweight champion Cris Cyborg and women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes will battle for the former's title. These are unquestionably two of the most dangerous female fighters on the planet, and finally, it's now time to see who the best of the best truly is when these deadly strikers start throwing with each other. 
Below you can have a look at the complete fight card for UFC 232 as it's shaped out to this point. UFC 232 goes down on Dec. 29 with the main card beginning at 10 p.m. ET on pay-per-view, with the prelims leading it in beginning at 8 p.m. on FS1 and streamed on the FoxSportsGo app.

UFC 232 | Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson Match Preview and Predictions

Alexander Gustafsson is such a wonderful stylistic matchup for Jon Jones that you can understand why so many have been clamoring for him to get a second crack at becoming the first fighter to truly beat “Bones”. The lead-up to UFC 165 revolved around Gustafsson being able to match Jones’s measurements, not the most electrifying build, but an aspect that proved to be important when the two ended up going toe-to-toe for 25 minutes. What wasn’t spoken of enough was Gustafsson’s excellent agility and footwork; at times, he moves more with the grace of an NBA guard than a cage fighter. This is what allowed him to befuddle Jones in their standup exchanges and neutralize Jones’s wrestling. That said, I’m leaning towards Jones because he is at his best when facing the best competition. Some might forget that in the first encounter it was Jones who finished stronger, forcing himself to adapt and level up during the fight as it dawned upon him what a threat Gustafsson was. The same could...

UFC 232 | Carlos Condit vs. Michael Chiesa Live Preview and predictions

This could be an unpleasant experience for fans of “The Natural Born Killer”. The fan-favorite veteran has won just two of his last nine contests and he just hasn’t looked the same since losing a five-round split decision to Robbie Lawler in one of the most brutal fights ever at UFC 195. While he’s always been a game fighter off of his back, Condit’s grappling deficiencies have been badly exposed in his losses to Alex Oliveira, Neil Magny, and Demian Maia. Michael Chiesa isn’t quite the specimen that Magny is, but the former 155er is going to be comfortable size-wise against Condit and he may employ a strategy similar to Magny’s: Use his jab, close the distance, and get Condit down where he can’t open up with his spectacular striking. As stiff a challenge as this is for Chiesa’s first welterweight fight, it still feels like he’ll be too much for Condit on the ground and that will be enough for him to pick up a win and extend Condit’s career-worst s...
