The Ultimate Fighting Championship is heading to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, as the promotion has confirmed it will hold an event in the Canadian city on August 23rd. The upcoming event will be headlined by a featherweight fight between contenders Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira.

Holloway (13-3) is riding a six fight winning streak and is coming off a submission win over Cub Swanson in April. The Hawaiian fighter is currently ranked #5 in the UFC’s 145 division.

Oliveira (20-4) also has plenty of momentum behind him, as the Brazilian has won four straight, and submitted Nik Lentz in his last outing. “Do Bronx” is ranked #7.

The upcoming event, which will be a Fight Night card, will be hosted by the SaskTel Centre.
