The UFC’s return to Winnipeg is shaping up very nicely.
Former featherweight champion Jose Aldo will meet Ricardo Lamas for the second time in the UFC on FOX 26 co-main event, and a welterweight bout between Santiago Ponzinibbio and Mike Perry is also set for the event. TSN first reported the news Friday, and UFC officials shortly thereafter confirmed the pairings.
Following an 18-fight winning streak that lasted nine years, Aldo (26-3) is 1-2 in his last three fights. In June, the Brazilian lost the UFC featherweight title by third-round TKO to Max Holloway.
