The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s whirlwind jaunt around the globe continues on Saturday.
The world’s premier mixed martial arts promotion pulls up in Vancouver, British Columbia, for the second-to-last stop on a run of five countries in as many weeks, on four different continents. With two of those events being numbered pay-per-views, commanding two title bouts apiece and many of the marquee non-title matchups, the Fight Night cards have had to make do with what was left over.
In light of the grueling schedule this month, the UFC’s matchmakers have done a credible job with those Fight Nights, and this Saturday’s offering in “Van City” is no exception.
