A look at the Aprtil 25th UFC 186 pay-per-view event in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where T.J. Dillashaw puts his bantamweight belt on the line against Renan Barao in a rematch of their memorable 2014 encounter.
The UFC will have an event every Saturday for the whole of April, the last of which takes place at the Bell Centre in Montreal. It's been just over two years since they last did a PPV in Quebec, with Georges St-Pierre beating Nick Diaz that night along with Johny Hendricks edging past Carlos Condit in a thriller. On April 25th of this year, the main event will be a bantamweight title rematch between champion T.J. Dillashaw and Renan Barao. Last year, Dillashaw destroyed Barao and stopped him in the 5th round in one of the biggest upsets in UFC history. With the co-main of Rory MacDonald/Hector Lombard scrapped due to Lombard's failed drug test, flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson will defend his belt against Japan's Kyoji Horiguchi.
Quinton Jackson's return to the Octagon may be stopped depending on the outcome of the lawsuit filed against him by Bellator, but in the event that he can compete, he'll be up against Fabio Maldonado on the main card. Middleweight veteran Michael Bisping meets C.B. Dollaway in a must-win for both men, while bantamweight prospect Thomas Almeida faces Yves Jabouin in the PPV opener.
