While you won’t find anyone complaining about the main event of UFC Ottawa – it’s rare either Al Iaquinta or Donald Cerrone are in a boring fight – it’s been difficult to find much praise for the card outside of that. Nonetheless, there is a couple of fights that look as though they could provide viewers with aesthetic pleasure… and perhaps some sort of an impact in the rankings.
The main card of UFC Ottawa on ESPN+ begins at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT on Saturday.
Derek Brunson (18-7) vs. Elias Theodorou (16-2), Middleweight
It’s a unique pairing as Brunson hasn’t won by decision since August 2014 while Theodorou hasn’t avoided the judges since March 2015.
