Two new bouts have been added to the upcoming UFC Vancouver fight card.<\/p>\n
Louis Smolka will face off against Ryan MacDonald at bantamweight, and Kyle Prepolec is scheduled to fight Austin Hubbard at lightweight.<\/p>\n
Louis Smolka made his UFC return last November when he secured a submission win over Su Mudaerji. Both he and his foe are coming off a recent loss. Smolka was submitted by Matt Schnell in March 2019. Meanwhile, Ryan MacDonald lost his first and only UFC fight against Chris Gutierrez at UFC Nashville the same month.<\/p>\n
Lightweight fighter Austin Hubbard is also coming off a loss. Hubbard was riding a three-fight winning streak until he faced Davi Ramos at UFC Rochester and lost via a unanimous verdict. His future opponent Kyle Prepolec also lost a unanimous, against Nordine Taleb, at UFC Ottawa in May.<\/p>\n
UFC Vancouver will take place at Rogers Arena on September 14.<\/p>\n
The headlining bout will see fan favorite lightweight contenders Donald Cerrone and Justin Gaethje collide in a bout rife with title implications.<\/p>\n
On the UFC Vancouver main card, we will also see former UFC light heavyweight title challenger Glover Teixeira take on Ukraine’s Nikita Krylov, and former two-division World Series of Fighting champion David Branch take on Andrew Sanchez.<\/p>\n
The event will air at 8ET\/5PT on ESPN+, and tickets go on sale tomorrow (Friday). Make sure to follow BJPenn.com for any future announcements UFC Vancouver.<\/p>\n
