It’s Official! Delorme to Fight in Hometown for UFC 161
Roland Delorme
Everyone suspected that Winnipeg’s Roland Delorme (8-1) would be named to the UFC 161 card in his hometown and now it is official. Today, the UFC announced that Delorme will face Edwin Figueroa (9-2) on their June 15th card.
WAMMA’s Roland Delorme last fought on the UFC 149 card in Calgary last summer. After losing the fight, his opponent Francisco Rivera tested positive for a stimulant and the fight was overturned to a no contest. Due to that result, Delorme remains unbeaten in the UFC with wins over Nick Denis and Josh Ferguson.
Entering hostile territory will be Edwin Figueroa who lost to Francisco Rivera in his last UFC fight. The Texan is 2-2 in the UFC with wins over Alex Caceres and Jason Reinhardt.
The Delorme vs Figueroa fight joins a Bantamweight title main event and a fight card that already includes Rashad Evans, Dan Henderson, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, Shogun Rua, and more.
Tickets for UFC 161 will go on sale on Friday, April 12 and presale for UFC 161 will be on Wednesday, April 10 for Fight Club members.

Delorme got KOd in his last bout which was overturned on a technicality. This card blows and the main event blows harder. Delorme loses by sub rd 1.

How the fight plays out has no bearing on what the decision is if the winner tests positive for anything.
No contest is proper protocol. No different than when Matt Riddle beat Chris Clements by decision and it was later turned into a no contest due to a positive drug test.
Rollie is 2-0-1 in the UFC

Hey QuinnFan you’re one negative dude, or broad, or Mom or whatever. Simple solution for you if the card and main event blows IYO; don’t watch it! Take your PPV $ and go buy a self help book on positive thinking. This site and MMA in general has enough negativity so go get happy dude, or girl or whatever you are. You’ve been having some not so sweet dreams if you think Rolly is getting sub’d in Rd 1. Try not pulling your pud for a bit ( if you’ve got the equipment) and maybe you’ll turn your bad dreams into wet ones. I welcome your rebuttal…….
Well-loved!
