The UFC’s next installment in Canada has its official main event.
According to UFC Europe’s official Twitter account, light heavyweights Volkan Oezdemir and Anthony Smith will be the ones to headline UFC Fight Night 138, in Moncton, on October 27.
Volkan Oezdemir (15-2) was set to take on Alexander Gustafsson on July 22, but was forced to pull out of the bout because of a broken nose. In his last outing, he was TKO’d by champion Daniel Cormier. The loss marked the 28-year-old’s sole Octagon defeat and snapped a three-fight winning streak with wins over the likes of Ovince Saint Preux, Misha Cirkunov, and Jimi Manuwa.
