Sign up for ESPN+ right here, and you can then stream the UFC live on
your smart TV, computer, phone, tablet or streaming device via the
ESPN app. Editor’s note: The article has been updated at 8 p.m.
ET on Sept. 3 to reflect the news that one match has been
canceled. For the fifth
Ultimate Fighting Championship event in a row, a fighter has
missed weight ahead of their bout.
After a streak of events on ESPN airwaves, the UFC returns to ESPN+
for
UFC Fight Night 191. The 10-fight card is headlined by a bout
between middleweight contenders Derek
Brunson and Darren Till.
The weigh-ins went swimmingly with the first 19 competitors, but
the last one to hit the scales, Jonathan
Martinez, surpassed the bantamweight limit by two pounds. Per
ESPN
on Friday night, his bout has been canceled due to complications
from his weight cut.
The 37-year-old Brunson (22-7) will look to continue the best run
of his career. Riding a four-fight win streak, Brunson has won two
straight main events by picking up a TKO over Edmen
Shahbazyan and winning a dominant decision over Kevin
Holland. Brunson tipped the scale at 186 pounds.
Looking to get back on track after a disappointing performance
against Robert
Whittaker, Till (18-3-1) finds himself in his sixth UFC
headliner. Prior to his setback against “Bobby Knuckles,” Till made
his successful middleweight debut against Kelvin
Gastelum. This shift up a division came following an end to his
welterweight run that saw him get submitted by Tyron
Woodley and knocked out by Jorge
Masvidal. Till officially weighed 185.5 pounds for his third
middleweight bout.
The UFC Fight Night 191 main card kicks off at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT
on ESPN+, while the prelims begin at 1:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m.
