Two title fights headline UFC 215 in Edmonton according to : TSN

Two title fights will headline UFC 215 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta on Saturday, September 9. "It's unfortunate, I think (Johnson vs. Dillashaw) would have been a great title fight," White told TSN. With a win, Johnson will make history with his eleventh straight title defence, breaking Anderson Silva's UFC record of ten. Kajan Johnson vs. Adriano Martins has also been added to the card. Nunes will be making her second bantamweight title defence, after a victory over Ronda Rousey at UFC 207.
