UFC Winnipeg is almost here. Tomorrow night, the No. 1 MMA promotion on Earth heads to Manitoba for the first time in almost eight and a half years. Canada Life Centre serves as the setting for the event.

Live coverage of UFC Winnipeg begins at 5 pm ET/ 2 pm PT with the prelims on Saturday. Main card action follows at 8 pm ET/ 5 pm PT. Stateside, you can see UFC Winnipeg from start to finish on Paramount Plus.

Initially, Dana White’s promotion had planned to present 13 fights on the schedule this coming weekend. Thursday, however, the intended slate changed. An undercard fight that was to have paired Mitch Raposo against Allan Nascimento was canceled after the former took ill.  This contest has already been rebooked for June 20 inside Meta Apex in Enterprise, NV.
