UFC 234 Occurs on Saturday, February 9, 2019 in the Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne, Australia.

The principal card broadcasts live on 10pm ET that is starting.
Robert Whittaker may not be a mainstream star, but the middleweight champion is a huge frickin’ deal in his home state of Australia. The respectful Aussie must find a hero’s welcome in Melbourne when he defends his title against American Kelvin Gastelum in early February.
The two served as opposing coaches around The Ultimate Fighter 28 and were respectful as may be. Neither guy is much trash talker, and Whittaker has emerged as an anti-McGregor from the GSP mold: equal parts considerate and respectful towards his opponents. It’s frankly refreshing to see, with so many men puking garbage into microphones these days.
Also on the card is Israel Adesanya, whose swag and abilities can catapult him into a title shot sooner than later. Drawing comparisons to a young Anderson Silva, The previous Stylebender will satisfy the now-old Anderson Silva in a fascinating middleweight bout. Silva came out and stated that he was assured a title shot with the win, which is surprising considering that the Brazilian hasn’t had a relevant victory in years.
