If you’re in Nova Scotia or headed there this week for UFC Fight Night 105, you can spend your Saturday before fight night with the UFC.
UFC Fight Night 105 takes place Sunday at Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The card airs on FS1 after early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. In the main event, Travis Browne (18-5-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC) takes on Derrick Lewis (17-4 MMA, 8-2 UFC) in a heavyweight bout. And in the co-feature, former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks (17-6 MMA, 12-6 UFC) moves up to middleweight to fight ex-Bellator champ Hector Lombard (34-6-1 MMA, 3-4 UFC).
Prior to the event, fans can attend Saturday’s ceremonial weigh-ins and a Q&A session with a heavyewight title contender. The ceremonial weigh-ins take place at 5 p.m. AST local time in the Grand Ballroom at World Trade Convention Centre, 1800 Argyle St. in Halifax.
Doors for the event open at 3:30 p.m. AST, and at 4 p.m., heavyweight contender Ben Rothwell will host a Q&A session for fans. Rothwell is expected to fight former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum in May at UFC 211 in Dallas. On the same card, heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic defends his title against ex-champ Junior Dos Santos. The Rothwell-Werdum winner likely will be next in line for the title, so Rothwell should have plenty to say about the state of current affairs in the division.
