The UFC returns to Mexico next weekend to run the Finale of their second season of The Ultimate Fighter Latin America. The show, also known as UFC Fight Night 78, goes down in Arena Monterrey in…well, Monterrey. Unlike most shows, the TUF Finale fights won’t be on the main card, but will be aired on the Fight Pass prelims.
The main event of the show will see Kelvin Gastelum back at 170 pounds to take on late replacement Neil Magny. Magny stepped up after Matt Brown was forced out with an injury. The co-main will see featherweight contender Ricardo Lamas taking on TUF 1 winner Diego Sanchez in his featherweight debut. Perhaps the most relevant fight on the event will kick off the main card, with Henry Cejudo meeting Jussier Formiga in what is likely a number one contender bout at flyweight.
Here’s a look at the current card:
