UFC Ottawa official fight card and start time

On Saturday night, the UFC will return to our screens with its second offering from the Canadian capital of Ottawa, Canada. Featuring a key lightweight contender bout, and some of Canada’s top MMA talent, this UFC Ottawa card looks like it could be a solid night of fights.

The card will be topped by a lightweight showdown between ranked contenders Al Iaquinta and Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. Iaquinta will look to build on the momentum of a recent defeat of Kevin Lee, while Cowboy, who also fought on the UFC’s first show in Ottawa, will look to make it two in a row after stopping Alex Hernandez in January.

The UFC Ottawa co-main event will pit Canadian middleweight contender Elias Theodorou against American wrestling specialist Derek Brunson. Other highlights of the card include appearances from the veteran Cub Swanson, rising Canadian stars like Brad Katona and Arjan Bhullar, and international talents like Juan Adams, Shane Burgos and Walt Harris.
