UFC returns to Vancouver this weekend with UFC Fight Night presented by Bud Light: De Ridder vs. Allen, live from Rogers Arena on Saturday, October 18. The main card begins at 7 p.m. ET, preceded by prelims starting at 4 p.m., both available on ESPN+ and ESPN Xtra on SiriusXM.
Main Event:
- Middleweight contenders Reinier de Ridder (21-2) and Brendan Allen (25-7) meet in a pivotal main event that could impact the title picture at 185 pounds. Ranked No. 4, de Ridder makes his fifth UFC appearance in less than a year, riding a 4-0 promotional record that includes a recent split decision win over former champion Robert Whittaker. Dana White’s Contender Series standout, Allen, ranked No. 9, stepped in on short notice and looks to build on a July victory over Marvin Vettori as he aims to shake up the division.
Co-Main Event:
- Welterweights Kevin Holland (28-14, 1 NC) and Mike Malott (12-2) square off in the co-main event. Holland, who has alternated between welterweight and middleweight, returns to Canada aiming to rebound from a close loss to Daniel Rodriguez in July. Malott, fighting on home soil for the fifth straight time, looks to build on his knockout win over Charles Radtke and take another step up the 170-pound ladder.
