Take a look at the Saturday, June 18th UFC Fight Night card in Ottawa, Canada, where Rory MacDonald meets Stephen Thompson in a huge welterweight main event.

For the first time ever, the UFC is headed to the Canadian capital of Ottawa, Ontario. They’ll be hosting a Fox Sports 1 card with a hugely important main event. Rory MacDonald, who will become a free agent after his next fight, is set to face fellow welterweight contender Stephen Thompson in a five-round battle.

The co-main event is a welterweight bout between a former lightweight title challenger and a former middleweight title challenger. Donald Cerrone aims to go 2-0 at 170, as he takes on a resurgent Patrick Cote, fresh off an impressive knockout win against Ben Saunders.

A host of fights recently got announced earlier this week, which means this event is fairly close to being filled up. The two standout contests are Elias Theodorou vs. Sam Alvey and Tamdan McCrory vs. Krzysztof Jotko, both in the middleweight division.

Here’s what the fight card looks like for Saturday, June 18th:

Rory MacDonald vs. Stephen Thompson
Donald Cerrone vs. Patrick Cote
Sam Alvey vs. Elias Theodorou
Steve Bosse vs. Sean O’Connell
Misha Cirkunov vs. Ion Cutelaba
Krzysztof Jotko vs. Tamdan McCrory
