By Jaren Kawada
After the chaotic and eventful UFC 294, fans may be eager to jump right into the promotion's next event. Unfortunately the UFC will be taking a week off, but that does not mean there are not other events to keep an eye on.
The UFC will return to action on Nov. 4 for UFC São Paulo. In the main event, rising heavyweight contender Jailton Almeida will take on fan favorite and UFC knockout king Derrick Lewis. No major MMA promotion has an event this weekend either, with the only show being Invicta 54.
In the main event of Invicta 54, newly-crowned strawweight champion Danni McCormack defends her title against former DWCS winner Karolina Wójcik. The co-main event features former strawweight champion Valesca Machado taking on Kalindra Faria.
In the wider scope of the combat sports world, all eyes will be on the massive boxing event headlined by former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
