Anthony Johnson and Daniel Cormier were originally supposed to headline UFC 206, but due to injuries, that fight was scrapped. Rather than fight someone else, Johnson elected to wait for Cormier. Instead, Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis will face off for the promotion’s interim featherweight championship.
UFC 206 live stream: How to watch the Holloway vs. Pettis fight and undercard online
UFC 206 is set for Saturday in Toronto and here’s how you can watch the action.
As usual, the UFC has several options for watching the preliminary and main cards online. The UFC apps on game consoles and other devices include streaming capability, as does UFC.tv and the UFC’s YouTube channel. The pay-per-view main card will get underway at 10 p.m. ET. The preliminary card will start on Fight Pass at 6:30 p.m. and will continue on FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m.
For Pettis, it will be the second fight for him in the weight class after he dropped down following a three-fight losing skid. Pettis beat Charles Oliveira in his featherweight debut and now will face Holloway, who has won his last nine fights. His last loss was to Conor McGregor, who was stripped of the featherweight title after going up a weight class and winning the lightweight title.
The UFC initially awarded the featherweight title to Jose Aldo, but when they needed to set a new main event for this card, they made an interim belt. The winner of Saturday’s main event will go on to fight Aldo to unify the titles.
Donald Cerrone will face Matt Brown in the penultimate fight on the card. Cerrone has been faring well at his new weight class, welterweight, and is heavily favored against Brown. The main card will also feature Cub Swanson against Doo Ho Choi at featherweight, Tim Kennedy vs. Kelvin Gastelum at Middleweight and Jordan Mein vs. Emil Weber Meek at Welterweight.
And that’s just the main card. Below is the full fight card for the event and the information you need to catch the whole card on Saturday.
