Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has a new main event for its upcoming UFC 206 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which takes place Sat., Dec. 10, 2016 inside Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
You can thank Daniel Cormier for that.
With “DC” on the injured reserves, the world’s preeminent mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion elevated the featherweight showdown pitting Max Holloway against Anthony Pettis to the five-round main event.
And now it’s for the interim featherweight title.
That’s because the original keeper of the substitute strap, Jose Aldo, has been promoted to reigning champion — by way of stripped Irishman — and will await the winner of Holloway vs. Pettis.
Check out their extended video preview embedded above.
Elsewhere on the UFC 206 main card, fast-rising welterweight and Mixed Martial Arts Athletes Association (MMAAA) spokesperson Donald Cerrone tries to keep his 170-pound win streak alive against the “Immortal” Matt Brown.
Good stuff.
