MONCTON, Canada – Gian Villante fights tonight at UFC Fight Night 138, just one week before the octagon heads to Madison Square Garden for UFC 230. As a New Yorker, you’d think Villante (16-10 MMA, 6-7 UFC) would have gladly traded his spot at Moncton’s Avenir Centre, where he meets fellow light heavyweight Ed Herman (23-13 MMA, 10-9 UFC), for a chance to perform in his hometown, right? Well … wrong.
