‘Dana White’s Looking For A Fight’ is back.
Right before the action of UFC 297 unfolds, the UFC CEO will be scouting out talent at Unified MMA 55. The featherweight championship is on the line in the main event between John Nguyen and Mateo Vogel. The top-ranked Canadian prospects will look to put on a performance that’s worthy of a UFC contract.
Welterweights are in the co-headliner as Quebec’s Zackery Powell battles South Africa’s Mark Hulme. Former Bellator star Ricky Bandejas is also on the card as he makes his return against Michael Imperato. Don’t forget about Tom Theocharis, too, who will try to make it three-straight wins vs. Robert Dunn.
The fight card takes place from The Rebel in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is available to watch with a UFC Fight Pass subscription.
