“The Canadian Gangster” has himself another booking in his home country.
For the third straight time, Olivier Aubin-Mercier will compete in Canada when he fights Arman Tsarukyan in a lightweight bout at UFC 240, which takes place at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, on July 27. Officials announced the bout Thursday.
Aubin-Mercier (11-4) is currently on the first two-fight skid of his career. The 30-year-old Quebec native has dropped back-to-back unanimous decisions to Gilbert Burns (in Toronto, Ontario) and Alexander Hernandez (in Calgary, Alberta) after winning seven of his first nine UFC bouts.
