Donald Cerrone and Justin Gaethje square off in one of the more hyped non-title main events this year Saturday night at UFC Vancouver.
The card airs live on ESPN+ from the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Cerrone and Gaethje are both top contenders in the UFC’s lightweight division, meaning a win over the other could be the final push needed to challenging for the belt.

After a pair of tough losses to former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier and former UFC and Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez, Gaethje rebounded in 2018 with a first round knockout of James Vick.
The finish was the start of a two-fight win streak for Gaethje that also includes a first round knockout of Edson Barboza from this past March.
