It’s been more than six years since the UFC last visited Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Saturday’s UFC on FOX 30 card comes on UFC President Dana White’s 49th birthday. The promotion has assembled a stacked card for what White referred to on the “ UFC Unfiltered ” podcast as his “ultimate birthday card.” In the main event, former lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez faces Dustin Poirier for the second time. The first time the two got together, the bout ended controversially after Alvarez landed illegal knees to his downed opponent. Referee Herb Dean ruled the blows unintentional and the fight, which took place on the preliminary card of UFC 211, was deemed a no contest
