The much anticipated featherweight title fight between Max Holloway and Brian Ortega finally goes down this weekend as the main event of UFC 231 in Toronto.
Originally scheduled for July, Holloway was forced out of the bout for symptoms similar to concussion and the champion has since spoken of suffering with depression.

But Holloway is now fit and ready to defend his belt against his undefeated challenger who knocked out Frankie Edgar in March to set up this bout.
The co-main event should also be a cracking contest as Valentina Shevchenko and Joanna Jedrzejczyk fight it out for the vacant womens flyweight title.
When is UFC 231?
The fight card at the Scotiabank Arena, Toronto takes place on Saturday 7 December, although due to time difference will be shown early in the morning of Sunday 8 December in the UK.
