Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is bringing welterweight contenders to the forefront of its upcoming FOX Sports 1 fight card, by way of the UFC Fight Night 89 mixed martial arts (MMA) event this Saturday night (June 18, 2016) inside TD Place Arena in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Leading the charge is division No. 1 contender Rory MacDonald, who held on to the top spot in spite of his technical knockout loss to Robbie Lawler at UFC 189. Hoping to take his place atop the 170-pound leaderboard is No. 2-ranked Stephen Thompson, fresh off his shellacking of ex-welterweight champion Johny Hendricks.
