Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) defends his UFC middleweight title against Khamzat Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) in the Aug. 16 main event from United Center in Chicago ( ESPN+, ESPN, pay-per-view).

The UFC middleweight division takes center stage. Contender Anthony Hernandez and Roman Dolidze headline UFC Fight Night on Saturday, one week before UFC 319's blockbuster title fight between Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev.

After some weaker cards in recent weeks, the UFC is finally producing a big show, heading to Chicago next weekend.
