Two belts will be up for grabs north of the border at UFC 336.
Joshua Van will defend the flyweight title against Manel Kape in the Jan. 30 main event at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, the promotion announced Saturday.
In the co-headliner, Carlos Prates and Michael Morales will square off for the interim welterweight title.
Welterweight champion Islam Makhachev informed the UFC he wouldn’t be ready to defend the belt in January, leading to the interim title bout. Makhachev’s next fight likely won’t be until between May and July with Ramadan approaching, play-by-play commentator Jon Anik said on the UFC 333 broadcast.
UFC 336 will mark the promotion’s first event in Toronto since January 2024.
