UFC 206: Holloway vs. Pettis start time, fight card and how to watch

Published Dec. 14, 2016 8:44 a.m. ET

UFC featherweight top contender Max Holloway has a chance to walk away with his 10th-straight UFC win and the interim featherweight title on Saturday when he faces off against former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis in the main event of UFC 206.

Pettis is coming off an impressive win against Charles Oliveira in his featherweight debut but missed weight on Friday, disqualifying him from a chance at the interim title. Pettis is still focused on taking care of business on Saturday, however, and Holloway said he’d take his opponent at “any weight.” The 25-year-old Hawaiian is finally in prime position to get his hands on UFC gold. If he can add Pettis to his already impressive resume, he'll solidify himself as one of the promotion's very best fighters.

In the co-main event, streaking lightweight-turned-welterweight Donald Cerrone takes on 14th-ranked Matt Brown in what could end up being the fight of the night. Brown and Cerrone have a combined 41 career finishes and will square off just 24 hours after Brown refused to shake Cerrone's hand at the UFC 206 weigh-in.

Veterans Cub Swanson, Tim Kennedy and Jordan Mein also grace the main card while rising prospects Nikita Krylov and Olivier Aubin-Mercier highlight the prelims.
