The
Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to the UFC Apex for an
intriguing Fight Night card with middleweight contenders atop the
card.
Headlining
UFC Fight Night 245 is a main event between the surging
Anthony
Hernandez and the always entertaining Michel
Pereira. Both men successfully made weight and came in under
the 186-pound limit. All other fighters made weight with one
notable exception as Joselyne
Edwards came in three pounds overweight for her fight against
Tamires
Vidal. She’ll be fined a percentage of her purse as a result.
It’s the third time Edwards has missed weight inside the UFC.
This marks the first UFC main event for Hernandez (12-2, 1 NC). „Fluffy“ has put together an impressive five-fight win streak that
includes finishes over Roman
Kopylov, Edmen
Shahbazyan and Marc-Andre
Barriault. The former LFA champion stepped on the scales
weighing 185.5 pounds.
Meanwhile, Pereira (31-11, 2 NC) has looked incredible during his
recent eight-fight win streak that includes quick finishes of
Ihor
Potieria, Michal
Oleksiejczuk and Andre
Petroski. „Demolidor“ hasn’t tasted defeat since a DQ loss to
Diego
Sanchez in 2020 and is finally delivering on his potential. The
Brazilian officially weighed 185.5 pounds.
UFC Fight Night 245 will air in its entirety on ESPN+ on Saturday.
Prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while the main card starts at
7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
