The UFC heads north for its next premier event as Vancouver, British Columbia, will be the host city for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: de Ridder vs. Allen. A middleweight main event between Reinier de Ridder<\/a> and Brendan Allen<\/a> headlines a fight card featuring seven Canadian competitors inside Rogers Arena.<\/p>\n

Coverage begins at 4 p.m. ET in the ESPN App<\/a>. The main card is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

Entering the Octagon for the fifth time in a calendar year, de Ridder (21-2-0) seeks his sixth straight victory. The 35-year-old southpaw hasn’t lost a bout since suffering his second of back-to-back title-fight defeats against Anatoly Malykhin <\/a>in March 2024.<\/p>\n

Allen (25-7-0) seeks his second straight win. The 29-year-old bested Marvin Vettori<\/a> via unanimous decision in his last time out in July, snapping a two-fight skid.<\/p>\n
