The UFC emerges from a brief hiatus in the cold air of Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada for UFC Fight Night 138. New Brunswick becomes the second UFC event hosted within Canada during 2018, on Saturday night. This stop is not the final trip to the north country in 2018 for the promotion as UFC 231 invades Toronto, Ontario.
UFC Moncton hosts a well-balanced palet of young and experienced talent. Four fighters make their promotional debut, coupled with younger blood such as Nasrat Haqparast, Jessin Ayari, and Marcelo Golm.
