UFC Fight Night 246 official weigh-ins from Edmonton
Burton Albion are yet to win a single game in League One and are rooted to the foot of the table, seven points adrift from safety.
The Brewers are on a run of eight straight defeats in all competitions and their only victory so far this season came against Leicester City’s Under-21s in the EFL Trophy on 20 August.
Two months and 11 games of football have passed since then and despite being three divisions lower, Scarborough Athletic will surely smell blood when they arrive at Pirelli Stadium.
Burton do have a recent history of succumbing to lower league opposition, losing 1-0 away at Barnet, who were two tiers below in the National League, in the first round in 2020-21. They were also knocked out by League Two Grimsby Town in the third round in 2023.
Meanwhile, their National League North visitors have won five of their past eight matches in all competitions.
The Seadogs, led by former Manchester United, Middlesbrough and West Brom player Jonathan Greening, will believe they can inflict yet more misery on the managerless Yellow and Black Army.

EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada – There’s now only a matter of hours before Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi meet in the UFC Fight Night 246 main event after the conclusion of their final faceoff.
Moreno (21-8-2 MMA, 9-4-2 UFC) and Albazi (17-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) meet in a five-round flyweight headliner on Saturday at Rogers Place (ESPN+), and the winner will have momentum for a title shot behind them.
The last step in the pre-fight process was a staredown at ceremonial weigh-ins, and you can watch the video above to see Moreno and Albazi interaction for the final time before the UFC Fight Night 246 main event.

The Ultimate Fighter, the UFC’s long-running reality television show competition, returns for its 33rd season.
Officials announced via a press release Friday that casting for TUF 33 is scheduled to run from Nov. 4 to Dec. 18, with producers and scouts on the lookout for fighters in the welterweight and flyweight divisions. Coaches for the upcoming season are yet to be determined, as is the date for the season premiere.
According to the release, “casting for TUF 33 will be remote with no physical tryouts” and decisions are expected to be made no later than January.
The most recent season of TUF saw flyweight stars Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko coaching teams comprised of middleweights and featherweights. American Ryan Loder won the middleweight tournament, while Brazil’s Mairon Santos was the champion at 145 pounds.
Grasso and Shevchenko later met in a trilogy bout with Grasso’s flyweight title on the line at UFC 306 this past September. Shevchenko won by unanimous decision to become a two-time UFC champion.
Premiering in 2005, TUF has often been credited by UFC CEO Dana White as having helped to bolster interest in the promotion, particularly the thrilling TUF 1 finale bout between Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar, which is widely regarded as one of the most important fights in UFC history.
Other standouts to emerge from seasons of TUF include Nate Diaz, Michael Bisping, Tony Ferguson, T.J. Dillashaw, Robert Whittaker, Carla Esparza, Rose Namajunas, Julianna Peña, and many others, though the program has been supplanted somewhat by Dana White’s Contender Series, which serves a similar purpose as a prospect showcase.
If Dricus Du Plessis can add Khamzat Chimaev’s name to his resume, he’s expecting big things.
Middleweight champion Du Plessis (22-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) was angling to run things back with Sean Strickland for his next title defense, but after Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) ran through Robert Whittaker for a first-round submission this past Saturday at UFC 308, he’s now interested in undefeated “Borz.”
With his past three wins coming over Whittaker, Strickland and Israel Adesanya, Du Plessis thinks handing Chimaev his first career loss should set him up for a shot at the light heavyweight title – preferably in his home country of South Africa.
“If I beat Khamzat Chimaev – I beat Robert Whittaker, then I beat Sean Strickland, then I beat Israel Adesanya, then I beat Khamzat Chimaev, that warrants a double title fight,” Du Plessis told ESPN. “And I think that might just be it. I have a vision, and I can’t picture something more perfect than that.
“But to be completely honest, I do not care who it is. South Africa would go crazy no matter who I fight. … At the end of the day, there’s a goal that needs to be reached, and that is fighting in my home country and getting that second belt. To do those on the same night, that would be pretty sweet.”
Du Plessis clarifies he’ll fight whoever the UFC offers, but after Chimaev’s impressive finish of Whittaker, the champion says that’s who the fans are clamouring for him to fight.
“The conversations were more about me fighting Strickland,” Du Plessis said. “But there was a very big reason no contracts have been signed, and I’m saying this as an opinion: I agreed – I said I’ll fight Strickland, perfect, and that’s the fight the fans want.
“But if you go on what the fans want right now, it’s definitely not the Strickland fight. If you ask what I want, I want to fight the best guy. I want to fight the guy the fans want me to fight, and that 100 percent is Khamzat. If they give me the Strickland fight, great, I’ll fight Strickland in February, March or whenever, and then fight Khamzat.”
