Originally set for Seoul, South Korea, UFC Fight Night 218 will now emanate from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and feature a heavyweight main event between Derrick Lewis and Sergey Spivak.

All fighters successfully made weight for the Ultimate Fighting Championship's first card of February. However, there will be a bit of a weight difference in the main event, as Lewis (26-10, 1 NC) will be the heftier man inside the cage. "The Black Beast" weighed a full 265 pounds, coming in 9.5 pounds heavier than the 255.5-pounder Spivak (15-3).

Lewis enters his 10th UFC main event in dire need of a win. The 37-year-old has fallen short in his last two bouts, which includes getting flattened by Sergei Pavlovich in just 55 seconds. Meanwhile, "The Polar Bear" has prevailed in five of his last six outings, earning victories over Augusto Sakai, Greg Hardy and Alexey Oleynik on his way up the division. He'll look to rack up three straight in the win column at the expense of "The Black Beast."

Additionally, the preliminary portion of the evening will contain all four finals for the Road to UFC tournament that took place throughout 2022 in Asia. The four top spots in the divisions of lightweight, featherweight, bantamweight and flyweight are all up for grabs, as the victors in those four matches will earn UFC contracts. At 155 pounds, Anshul Jubli (155.5) will try to become the first Indian-born competitor to earn a UFC win, while his opponent Jeka Asparido Saragih (155) will try to do the same representing Indonesia. Featherweight finishers Jeong Yeong Lee (145) and Zha Yi (145.5) will toe the line in a South Korea vs. China battle. In the bantamweight division, Japanese countrymen Toshiomi Kazama (136) and Rinya Nakamura (135) will throw down for a coveted UFC deal and home-country bragging rights. Finally, Seung Guk Choi (125.5) and Hyun Sung Park (124.5) engage in an all-Korean flyweight contest.

UFC Fight Night 218 has a particularly late start time on Saturday, as prelims begin at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. The main card will then commence at 1 a.m. ET/10 p.m. PT. Both portions will stream on ESPN+.
