On a night where the clocks turn back an hour, the UFC keeps moving ahead with another edition of UFC Fight Night. This evening, Rogers Place is the site for UFC Edmonton.
Live coverage begins at 5 pm ET/ 2 pm PT on ESPN+ stateside with the prelims before main card action follows at 8 pm ET/ 5 pm PT. All told, tonight’s card now features 13 MMA fights due to the 11th-hour postponement of a heavyweight contest between Derrick Lewis (28-12, 1 NC MMA, 19-10 UFC) and Jhonita Diniz (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC).
Lewis withdrew from the card last night.
