The UFC returns to Mexico for a six-fight main card Saturday. Monterrey will be the host city, and welterweights headline the action.
This event will also play host to the finale of The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 2.
Kelvin Gastelum, the No. 15-ranked welterweight contender, was originally slated to fight Matt Brown in the main event, but an injury sidelined the No. 5-ranked contender. In steps No. 13-ranked Neil Magny. This will be Magny‘s 10th fight since 2014.
Featherweights Ricardo Lamas and Diego Sanchez should provide the biggest fireworks of the night in the co-main event. Sanchez is looking for a big win at 145 pounds, and Lamas is trying to prove his stock as the No. 4-ranked contender in the division.
Here is the main card for UFC Fight Night 78:
- Neil Magny vs. Kelvin Gastelum
- Ricardo Lamas vs. Diego Sanchez
- Jussier Formiga vs. Henry Cejudo
- Erick Montano vs. Enrique Marin
- Enrique Barzola vs. Horacio Gutierrez
- Efrain Escudero vs. Leandro Silva
