The UFC is returning to the Rockies for the first time since 2018 and a Canadian will be featured on the card.

Dana White announced that Ball Arena in Denver will be hosting a Fight Night event on July 13, the first time since 2018 that the UFC will be in Colorado.

Mike Malott of Burlington, Ont., is on the card and facing American Gilbert Urbina. It will be Malott's first fight since his loss to Neil Magney at UFC 297 in Toronto in January.

The Denver event will be headlined by a key flyweight bout between Maycee Barber and Rose Namajunas.
