UFC’s second trip to Canada in 2015 will be headlined by top ranked featherweights.
Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira, both fighters riding long winning streaks in the 145-pound division, are set to collide in a five-round bout on Aug. 23 at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon, Canada, The Star Phoenix reported on Monday.
Holloway (13-3) has looked impressive as of late, scoring five finishes in his current six-fight winning streak, including submissions over Cub Swanson and Andre Fili.
Oliveira (20-4, 1 no-contest) won four post-fight bonuses in his last four fights, defeating the likes of Nik Lentz and Jeremy Stephens.
"I really honestly believe that whoever wins this fight will be in a (No. 1) contender's fight next," UFC director of Canadian operations Tom Wright told The Star Phoenix.
