The Ultimate Fighting Championship is making the first of three scheduled 2019 events in Canada. On Saturday night, the Octagon returns to Ottawa, Ontario, for UFC Fight Night 151.
The main event features an important lightweight fight between two fan favorites in Donald Cerrone and Al Iaquinta. “Cowboy” is coming off an impressive TKO win over Alexander Hernandez in January, which was his return to lightweight. Meanwhile, “Raging Al” bounced back from losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 223 with a decision win over Kevin Lee.
The co-main event features two top-15 middleweights in action. Canadian Elias Theodorou takes on Derek Brunson. Theodorou is riding a three-fight winning streak with his last victory coming at UFC 231 where he beat Eryk Anders by split-decision. Brunson, on the other hand, is on a two-fight losing streak with a knockout loss to Ronaldo Souza and a TKO loss to Israel Adesanya at UFC 230.
The entire card airs live on ESPN+. The main card begins at 8 p.m. ET and the prelims are on at 5 p.m. ET.
