The
Ultimate Fighting Championship kicks off September by returning
to Las Vegas for
UFC Fight Night 242.
The 12-fight card will be headlined by Gilbert
Burns and Sean Brady.
Both of the welterweight contenders successfully made weight, but
two other fighters did not. Kyle Nelson
(148.5) came in 2.5 pounds overweight for his featherweight fight
against Steve
Garcia. Meanwhile, Dylan Budka
(188.5) also clocked in 2.5 pounds over the middleweight limit for
his bout versus Andre
Petroski. As a result, both will be fined 20% of their
purses.
This marks the third UFC main event for Burns (22-7). „Durinho“ is
looking to bounce back from a two-fight skid that saw him come up
short against Belal
Muhammad and Jack
Della Maddalena. Prior to the recent setbacks, the Brazilian
had won three of his last four fights, including victories over
Jorge
Masvidal and Stephen
Thompson. The former title challenger officially stepped on the
scale weighing 171 pounds.
Meanwhile, this is the first UFC main event for Brady (16-1). The
American recently submitted Kelvin
Gastelum with a kimura in his first fight since suffering his
first career defeat to Muhammad. Prior to the loss, the 31-year-old
was 5-0 inside the Octagon. Brady officially weighed 171
pounds.
UFC Fight Night 242 will stream 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.
