The Rogers Arena hosts an MMA event for the first time since May 2023, when UFC 289 took place.
The headliner saw Amanda Nunes compete for the last time, successfully defending her Bantamweight title against Irene Aldana.
In this fight night, Reinier de Ridder takes on Brendan Allen in an action-packed five-round bout.
While that battle has high expectations, here are five other fights that have a high chance of earning a Fight of the Night bonus.
Kevin Holland vs Mike Malott
The event begins with a co-main event that features a fan-favourite and the most active competitor against a Canadian-loved superstar.
Holland fights for a fifth time this calendar year after winning and losing twice in his last four bouts of 2025.
‘Trailblazer’ doesn’t often go the distance, earning 23 finishes in his career with 13 by knockout and 10 by submission.
The #15 contender hopes to maintain his position while giving an exciting fight in enemy territory.
Malott is currently on a two-fight win streak after knocking out Charles Radtke in the second round at UFC 315.
‘Proper’ has challenged for the Welterweight rankings before, but suffered a comeback loss to Neil Magny at UFC 297.
The Burlington-born fighter has only gone the distance twice, claiming six KO/TKO victories and five submissions.
A guaranteed fun fight, which will generate a crowd reaction for whoever wins in Vancouver.
Marlon Vera vs Aiemann Zahabi
Two of the toughest Bantamweights go toe-to-toe in what could be a very high-paced fight for three rounds.
‘Chito’ Vera has lost his steam recently after salvaging one win from his last four battles, with all of them ending in a decision.
The Ecuadorian has pulled out some incredible knockouts against the likes of Dominick Cruz and Frankie Edgar.
With 23 career wins, the #7 contender holds eight KO/TKO triumphs and 10 submissions, proving he can finish a fight in any style.
Zahabi is on a six-fight winning streak after defeating Jose Aldo by unanimous decision in an exciting fight at UFC 315.
The 37-year-old has only lost in his home country once, losing to Vince Morales in Ottawa back in May 2019.
The #9 contender has finished eight of his 13 conquered opponents, securing six KO/TKO wins and two submissions.
The Canadian prospect is getting closer to becoming a title challenger, but he has to defeat a well-experienced veteran to rise up the rankings.
Danny Barlow vs Djorden Santos
A battle for redemption in the Middleweight division as two potential prospects try to prove they’re worthy.
Barlow suffered a first-round knockout defeat in his last bout, losing to Sam Patterson at UFC Vegas 103.
Naturally a Welterweight, the 30-year-old is moving up to 185 pounds to challenge himself even further.
Fighting out of Tennessee, has earned six finishes in his career, claiming five in the first round as he likes to get his job done quickly.
Santos made his UFC debut in his last fight, but lost to Ozzy Diaz by unanimous decision at UFC 313.
The Brazilian earned an impressive decision win on Dana White’s Contender Series, ultimately earning him a UFC contract.
‘Shakur’ has earned seven stoppages from 10 professional wins, holding three KO/TKO wins and four submissions.
While this battle will be under the radar for many, it may just bring a surprise element for a wild fight.
Kyle Prepolec vs Drew Dober
A three-round Lightweight war, which will not disappoint, between two entertaining strikers.
Prepolec made his return to the UFC on short notice, losing by second-round submission to Benoit Saint-Denis at UFC 315.
Before the start of his second UFC stint, ‘Killshot’ earned three consecutive first-round knockouts.
The 36-year-old prefers to stop his opponents on the feet, earning 10 KO/TKO wins from 18 victories.
Dober is on a three-fight losing streak after being knocked out by Manuel Torres in his last battle at UFC Mexico City.
The Southpaw fighter has appeared in the UFC since December 2013, bravely facing the likes of Beneil Dariush and Islam Makhachev.
Just like his opponent, the Omaha-born mixed martial artist loves a knockout win, securing 15 KO/TKO victories.
Prepolec is still in his quest to claim his first UFC win, but he’s challenged by a veteran who won’t let him off easily.
Azamat Bekoev vs Yousri Belgaroui
A one-to-watch in the preliminary card as two vicious finishers go head-to-head in a hyped Middleweight battle.
Bekoev has made quite the introduction into the UFC, earning two consecutive first-round TKO wins against Zachary Reese and Ryan Loder.
The Russian is on an eight-fight triumphant streak, which started in November 2021 with a first-round submission.
‘Iron’ has 20 professional victories in MMA, securing eight knockouts and submissions, making him a very wild opponent.
Belgaroui makes his UFC debut at the Rogers Arena after earning a contract through DWCS with a third-round TKO against Taiga Iwasaki.
Alex Pereira’s teammate and former rival defeated the current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion in GLORY Kickboxing back in April 2017.
With eight wins, the Tunisian-Dutch fighter has secured six KO/TKO wins, being a huge danger on the feet.
It’s prospect vs prospect, which has the anticipation of someone getting stopped inside three rounds.
