Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to FOX Sports 1 later tonight (Sat., June 18, 2016) in the form of UFC Fight Night 89, the slam-bang mixed martial arts (MMA) extravaganza going down inside TD Place Arena in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
UFC Fight Night 89 will be headlined by the welterweight clash pitting former division title challenger Rory MacDonald against striking dynamo Stephen Thompson.
MacDonald (18-3) returns to action following his bloodbath with current 170-pound titleholder Robbie Lawler last July. Thompson (12-1), meanwhile, has now won six straight in the Octagon, including his quick dismissal of previous welterweight champion Johny Hendricks at UFC Fight Night 82.
