The Ultimate Fighting Championship‘s return to Alberta, Canada, is now official after the UFC Fight Night 246 weigh-ins.
Sitting atop the 14-fight card is a flyweight main event between Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi. Both men weighed 125.5 pounds and are ready for a five-round scrap. The 26 other fighters on the card also successfully made weight for their bouts, so the card will continue as planned.
Moreno (21-8-2) is hoping to break a two-fight losing streak after back-to-back split decision losses to Brandon Royval and Alexandre Pantoja. The former champ has previously beat Kai Kara-France and rival Deiveson Figueiredo before the current skid. Just 30 years of age, “The Assassin Baby” will look to show that he’s still an improving fighter.
Meanwhile, this is the second main event fight for Albazi (17-1). “The Prince” is riding a six-fight win streak that includes victories over Kara-France and Alessandro Costa. The Iraqi fighter will attempt to become a title contender with a victory.
UFC Fight Night 246 will air in its entirety on ESPN+ on Saturday. Prelims begin at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT, while the main card starts at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
