UFC Fight Night: Boston continues a star-studded January of highly-anticipated fights as it features a main event of Conor McGregor vs. Dennis Siver, along with a co-main event clash featuring top lightweights Benson “Smooth” Henderson and Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone.
McGregor has been marching through the 145-pound division ever so loudly and has set his sights on champion Jose Aldo. This is a pivotal matchup for both him and Siver, as Dublin’s own would be vaulted into the No. 1-contender spot with a win—something that the Russian-German kickboxer hopes to play spoiler too.
In the co-main event, it will mark the third time in their respective careers that Cowboy and Smooth have met, with Henderson owning a 2-0 advantage over Cerrone. Cerrone is also making an incredible turnaround after fighting at UFC 182 on January 3, notching a win over top-10 lightweight Myles Jury.
Rounding out the card at TD Garden are fights that feature up-and-coming fighters Uriah Hall and Norman Parke, as they take on veterans Ron Stallings and Gleison Tibau. Here are five quick facts for each main card fighter to get you ready for Saturday night’s UFC action in Boston.
