UFC Fight Tonight: Is there a UFC card on Saturday, November 2, 2024?
The UFC is headed to the Rogers Place in Edmonton, Canada, on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024 (U.S. time) for its upcoming card, UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Albazi (also known as UFC Edmonton and UFC Fight Night 246)
In the main event of UFC Fight Night, former flyweight champion and No.2-ranked Brandon Moreno will square off against the No.3-ranked Amir Albazi.
Moreno will enter this fight hoping to get back on track after suffering back-to-back split decision losses. 'The Assassin Baby' dropped the title to Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 290 before coming up short against Brandon Royval earlier this year.
Albazi, meanwhile, is riding a six-fight win streak into this fight with his last five victories coming under the UFC banner. In his latest trip to the octagon, 'The Prince' battled Kai Kara-France to a split-decision win in June 2023. The Iraqi will look to enter title contention with a statement performance this weekend.

No.3-ranked women’s flyweight contender Erin Blanchfield will also feature on the card as she battles the No.5-ranked Rose Namajunas in the co-main event.

In another intriguing matchup, fan-favorite knockout artist Derrick Lewis will lock horns with Jhonata Diniz in a heavyweight battle.
Also on the UFC UFC Edmonton main card, Marc Andre Barriault will go head-to-head with Dustin Stoltzfus in a middleweight clash. It will be followed by a light heavyweight showdown between Caio Machado and Brendson Ribeiro.
Additionally, Mike Malott will duel with Trevin Giles in a 170-pound contest to kick off the main card.
