UFC 209 is down a pretty important fight, but Saturday still should be a fun night of mixed martial arts at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
The headliner is the welterweight championship rematch between title holder Tyron Woodley and challenger Stephen Thompson. The two faced off in an instant classic at UFC 205, although it unfortunately ended in a draw. But they’ll get a second chance to wow fight fans Saturday night, and hopefully we’ll get a decision this time.
Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson were supposed to fight for the interim lightweight title and a probably future chance at Conor McGregor, but it was cancelled after Nurmagomedov was rushed to the hospital due to weight management problems.
The (updated) main card will kick off at 10 p.m. ET, but fans can enjoy plenty of preliminary fights in the meantime.
