UFC Rio is almost here. Tomorrow night, the No. 1 MMA promotion in the world returns to Rio de Janeiro for the city\u2019s first UFC Fight Night in just over a decade at Farmasi Arena.

\"\"<\/a>
Inside the United States of America, live coverage can be seen on ESPN+\u00a0<\/a>starting with the prelims<\/a> at 4 pm ET\/ 1 pm PT before moving onto the main card<\/a> at 7 pm ET\/ 4 pm PT Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

Initially, tomorrow\u2019s schedule<\/a> for UFC Rio was slated to feature 13 MMA bouts. Late Thursday, however, the plans for Saturday evening changed. The scheduled heavyweight undercard bout that would have matched Valter Walker with Mohammed Usman was canceled after the latter withdrew from the event. Thus, UFC Rio now proceeds as a 12-bout card.<\/p>\n

\nSaimon Oliveira Exceeds Maximum by 8 lbs Friday Morning at UFC Rio Weigh-Ins<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t the only hiccup in the final countdown to UFC Rio tomorrow. While Saimon Oliveira\u2019s fight against Luan Lacerda will be going ahead as originally advertised, it\u2019ll press forward in the wake of Oliveira (144 lbs) missing the bantamweight nontitle maximum by 8 lbs.<\/p>\n

Lacerda (136 lbs) hit the target exactly earlier today. Due to Oliveira\u2019s bad miss, he\u2019ll now cede 50 percent of his wages<\/a> to Lacerda. This fight will also now take place as a catchweight affair.<\/p>\n
