The main event of the evening is going to be a violent stand-up affair, which is a piece of cake for many diehard fans of this sport. Weili Zhang vs Carla Esparza will hardly go the distance, as a striker meets a wrestler (the same thing happens between Dan Hooker and Claudio Puelles).

Also, every single fight in the preliminary card could end inside the distance, so please, sit and watch UFC 281 on your PC, TV, tablet, or laptop on Saturday at 6 PM ET, this event is going to be so fun!
