Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is live TONIGHT (Sat., April 18, 2026) with UFC Winnipeg, streaming live online via Paramount+. The event goes down inside Canada Life Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. This is the promotion’s first trip to “Winter-peg” since 2017 (when Rafael dos Anjos took a decision over Robbie Lawler).
UFC Winnipeg Preview
UFC Winnipeg’s main event on Saturday night is Gilbert Burns vs. Mike Malott in the Welterweight division. Perennial contender, Burns, is on a four-fight losing streak after
UFC decided to use him to blood the up-and-comers. Malott, meanwhile, has won his last three and he’s the favorite to get the win here, much to the delight of the partisan crowd (Malott hails from Burlington, Ontario, a full timezone away from Winnipeg).
Our co-main event has another surging Canadian. Charles Jourdain is perfect (2-0) since he moved down to Bantamweight. He’ll look for his third win in the division, taking on Kyler Phillips. “The Matrix” is winless (0-2) since UFC adjusted the difficulty level on his match-making.
The other “Canada vs. The World” fights on the main card are Niagara region’s Jasmine Jasudavicius vs. Karine Silva and Vancouver’s Mandel Nallo vs. Jai Herbert. The main card is completed by Thaigo Moises vs. Gauge Young and Dennis Buzukja vs. Marcio Barbosa.
The featured “Prelim” at UFC Winnipeg is Julien LeBlanc vs. Robert Valentin. The undercard also has the returning Tanner Boser vs. Gokhan Saricum and Melissa Croden vs. Daria Zhelezniakova.
