UFC Fight Night 56 will take place on Saturday, November 8, with the Octagon traveling to Brazil for its second show this weekend.
It’s a quick turnaround from last night’s finish fest, which saw 11 stoppages in 11 fights. Tonight, 10 matchups are on the docket, which is set to be headlined by a light heavyweight tussle between the legendary Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and rising star Ovince St. Preux.
The night’s co-main event will feature a pair of up-and-comers in Warlley Alves and Alan Jouban, who step into the spotlight after an injury to Ian McCall forced some shuffling on the main card.
