The official UFC 234 poster has been released by the Las Vegas-based promotion. And it’s a good one to end the year off right.

For years now, posters have been something that fight fans look forward to seeing. The reason for that is due to it being the first major promotional material sent out by the promotion.

Robert Whittaker is expected to defend the UFC middleweight title against Kelvin Gastelum in the headliner of this show.

The promotion has confirmed that former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva will fight rising prospect Israel Adesanya at this show. It’s expected to serve as the co-headliner. UFC President Dana White has confirmed that if Silva wins this fight then he’ll get a crack at the middleweight title.
