A pair of newly crowned champions will make their first title defenses Saturday night at UFC 248 against challengers who are no strangers to main-event spotlights. There will be an international flavor in Las Vegas as New Zealand’s Israel Adesanya puts his UFC middleweight title up for grabs against Cuban native Yoel Romero in the main event, and China’s Zhang Weili makes her first defense of the strawweight title against former titleholder Joanna Jedrzejczyk of Poland. Beyond that, there’s the usual potpourri of interesting items that you’ll find up and down a card of this magnitude. UFC 248 takes place at T-Mobile Arena. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+. Without further ado, then, here are six burning questions heading into UFC 248
