Five fighters in danger of being cut by the UFC if they fail to secure a victory at UFC Moncton.

The UFC’s expansion continues on Saturday, as the Octagon makes its debut in Moncton, New Brunswick on Saturday, headlined by a clash with title implications between light heavyweight contenders Anthony Smith and Volkan Oezdemir.

Elsewhere on the card, is an intriguing featherweight scrap between Michael Johnson and Artem Lobov in the co-main event of the evening, after Johnson accepted the bout on short notice, replacing Zubaira Tukhugov, who was pulled from the event for his actions at UFC 229.

Former Ultimate Fighter winner Court McGee will make the walk to the Octagon, squaring off with Alex Garcia. Another TUF alum, fan favorite Ed Herman puts on the gloves for the first time in over a year, in what promises to be a fun-filled affair with fellow slugger Gian Villante.

As is the case with most events, there is plenty of homegrown talent across the card, with Toronto’s Mischa Circunov returning to action against Patrick Cummins, and Tristar product Nordine Taleb meeting Sean Strickland. In addition, Richmond, British Columbia’s Arjan Bhullar looks to rebound from the first loss of his career, taking on Marcelo Golm.

While there is plenty to look forward to about UFC Moncton, several fighters are undoubtedly feeling extra pressure. Competing in the UFC is a very difficult task, and some athletes are in need of a big win to turn things around. Here are five fighters who find themselves in the hot seat at UFC Moncton.
