UFC Fight Tonight: Is there a UFC card on Saturday, January 20, 2024?

The world's premier MMA promotion will head to Toronto, Canada, for UFC fight tonight at the Scotiabank Arena.

UFC 297: Strickland vs. du Plessis has two title fights on tap and features a series of other high-stake battles involving top contenders and prospects across various divisions.

Taking the main event slot at UFC 297 will be a much-anticipated middleweight title showdown between newly crowned 185-champ Sean Strickland and No.2-ranked contender Dricus du Plessis.

Sean Strickland produced one of the biggest upsets in the UFC title fight history when he dethroned Israel Adesanya via unanimous decision at UFC 293 last September. 'Tarzan' scored his third consecutive win with the title-winning performance and looks to make the first successful defense of his middleweight crown this Saturday.

Dricus du Plessis, on the other hand, is on an eight-fight win streak, with six of those victories coming inside the UFC octagon. 'Stillknocks' finished all but one of his opponents on that run and is fresh off an impressive TKO victory over former titleholder Robert Whittaker at UFC 290.
