The
Ultimate Fighting Championship returns after a rare week off
with a UFC Apex card featuring an intriguing lightweight main
event.
UFC Fight Night 229 is headlined by Grant
Dawson vs. Bobby Green.
Both lightweight contenders successfully made weight for the
five-round main event. Every fighter also made weight for the
11-fight card.

Dawson (20-1-1) is undefeated since entering the UFC. The only
blemish on the record of “KGD” is a majority draw against Ricky Glenn
in 2021. He’s currently coming off three straight wins over
Jared
Gordon, Mark O.
Madsen and Damir
Ismagulov. Dawson stepped on the scale weighing 156 pounds.
This marks the second UFC main event for Green (30-14-1, 1 NC), who
is coming off a win over Tony
Ferguson. Prior to the win, “King” had been on a rough stretch
that saw him lose to Islam
Makhachev and Drew Dober by
knockout and fought Jared
Gordon to a no contest after an accidental clash of heads
stopped the fight. The 37-year-old will look to show he has more
left in the tank and officially weighed 156 pounds on the dot.
UFC Fight Night 229 will air in its entirety on ESPN+ on Saturday.
The main card starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, while the prelims
begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT.
