UFC 336 has three new fights. On Sunday, Nov. 15, UFC Canada announced that Lance Gibson Jr. vs Michael Johnson, Serhiy Sidey vs Louis Lee Scott and Cam Nelson vs Sean Clancy Jr. have been added to the card on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2027, at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The promotion billed them as the first three Canadians on the event and said tickets go on sale on Friday.

The pay-per-view is headlined by Joshua Van vs Manel Kape for the UFC flyweight title, with Carlos Prates vs Michael Morales for the interim welterweight title in the co-main event. Those two title fights were already listed on UFC.com before Sunday's announcement.

Lance Gibson Jr. vs Michael Johnson

Canadian lightweight Lance Gibson Jr. (10-2) is coming off a first-round knockout. He stopped Chase Hooper at 2:56 of the first round on March 29, 2026, bouncing back from a split decision loss to King Green in December 2025.

He now gets a longtime UFC veteran. Michael Johnson (25-20) was stopped by Drew Dober in the second round in March 2026, ending a two-fight winning streak that included a TKO of Ottman Azaitar in December 2024 and a unanimous decision over Daniel Zellhuber in July 2025.

Serhiy Sidey vs Louis Lee Scott

This bantamweight matchup was first reported on Nov. 7 by Vestnik MMA and is now official. Ukrainian-born Canadian Serhiy Sidey (12-2) is 2-1 in the UFC. After a split decision loss to Ramon Taveras in January 2024, he beat Garrett Armfield by split decision in November 2024 and Cameron Smotherman by unanimous decision in May 2025, so he has not fought in more than a year and a half.

Louis Lee Scott of Leeds, England, makes his UFC debut. He is unbeaten at 10-0, according to Tapology.

Cam Nelson vs Sean Clancy Jr.

Welterweight Cam Nelson (8-1), from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, scored a unanimous decision win over Ding Meng on Aug. 29, 2026. His opponent is Sean Clancy Jr., a Scottish prospect from Paisley. UFC Europe confirmed that Clancy Jr. will make his Octagon debut in Toronto. Records listed by MMA databases have him unbeaten at 9-0.

What else is on the card

These three fights bring the official UFC 336 lineup to five bouts. Other matchups have only been reported so far. Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson vs Terrance Chatman is reportedly in the works for the event, but the UFC has not announced it.
