Erick Silva vs. Rick Story set for UFC Fight Night 74 in Saskatoon


Erick-Silva
A welterweight bout between Erick Silva and Rick Story will serve as the co-main event for the UFC’s debut in Saskatoon this August.

UFC officials announced the news earlier today via a press release.

Rick “The Horror” Story (18-8 MMA) was most recently seen in action at October’s UFC Fight Night event in Sweden, where he handed Gunnar Nelson the first loss of his career via judges split-decision. Prior to that, Story earned a submission victory over Leonardo Mafra in July of 2014.

Meanwhile, Erick Silva (18-5 MMA) will be looking to extend his current win streak to three in a row when he faces Story this August in Saskatoon. Silva is coming off a submission win over former title challenger Josh Koscheck, which he earned at March’s UFC Fight Night event in Brazil.
