The UFC takes the Octagon to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, for the first time this Sunday for Fight Night 74.
As is typical of the UFC’s visits to Canada, many combatants on Sunday’s card are from the host nation. The main event, however, features featherweights Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, representing the United States and Brazil, respectively.
Oliveira enters the contest riding a four-fight win streak. During that stretch, three of his victories have come by way of submission. Holloway’s winning run is even more impressive, having reached six in a row, including five finishes.
The co-main event of Fight Night 74 is another United States vs. Brazil matchup in Neil Magny vs. Erick Silva. Magny saw his seven-fight win streak get snapped in his last outing, while Silva is coming off a pair of first-round stoppage victories.
The full main card for Fight Night 74 is as follows:
- Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira
- Neil Magny vs. Erick Silva
- Patrick Cote vs. Josh Burkman
- Chad Laprise vs. Francisco Trinaldo
- Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. Tony Sims
- Maryna Moroz vs. Valerie Letourneau
