The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s long-overdue return to Edmonton, Alberta, on Saturday at Rogers Place carries a surprisingly deep slate of prelims for UFC Fight Night 246. The top two fights see two Canadian talents get major opportunities to prove themselves. Aiemann Zahabi’s slow rise through the bantamweight ranks leads him into his toughest test yet against Pedro Munhoz, while Jasmine Jasudavicius looks to establish a new ceiling for herself in the women’s flyweight division at the expense of Ariane Lipski. There is some intrigue elsewhere, whether it’s Charles Jourdain’s cut down to bantamweight to face Victor Henry, a battle of heavyweight wrestlers between Alexander Romanov and Rodrigo Nascimento or one of the best bouts on the entire card matching Jack Shore with Youssef Zalal at 145 pounds.
