This matchup promises plenty of excitement for fight fans tuning in Thursday evening.
Mike McAloon (4-3) steps into the cage against rising prospect Jonathan Broad (2-0) at BFL 71. The lightweight showdown takes place in Vancouver, B.C., with live coverage on UFC Fight Pass.
McAloon, 29, has earned a reputation as a dynamic, fan-friendly competitor, and this UFC Fight Pass broadcast gives him a chance to display that electrifying approach before a wider audience.
With spectators returning to the venue, McAloon expressed enthusiasm about competing again and the prospect of leaving the pandemic era behind.
"I still miss the crowds every single day. That's something I feel obligated to mention in practically every interview I give," McAloon told MMA Empire.
"Things are what they are, and honestly I'm getting comfortable with this COVID atmosphere, which isn't great. I can't wait for it to end because I'm exhausted by it. I know many of us are carrying frustration in completely different forms, but come March 10, I get to channel mine toward another adult man, and he'll do the same to me. We'll meet in the middle, and by the end of that night, our artwork will speak volumes."
