MMA Knockout has you covered with a preview of this Saturday's UFC Fight Night: Gilbert Burns vs. Sean Brady.
The UFC returns to the Apex in Las Vegas, NV this Saturday following a rare week off for a UFC Fight Night card headlined by top welterweight contenders.The main event will see former title challenger Gilbert Burns attempt to defend his #6 welterweight ranking when he squares off with the #8-ranked Sean Brady.Brady suffered the first loss of his career to current welterweight king Belal Muhammad at UFC 280 before he rebounded with a submission-win against Kelvin Gastelum last December.
Nelson was originally scheduled to meet Calvin Kattar in Las Vegas, and instead he’ll face another dangerous opponent in Garcia that scored his fourth-straight knockout less than two months ago. “Mean Machine” got the job done quickly against Seung Woo Choi and shouldn’t be carrying too much damage into this quick turnaround, but Nelson is on an impressive three-fight winning streak of his own and stopped Bill Algeo in the first round back in March.
Lima distanced himself from his infamous UFC debut against Igor Severino when he took a split decision over Mitch Raposo at UFC 302, but the 25-year-old unfortunately missed weight by a significant margin for that fight. “Mascote” will now put his undefeated record on the line against dos Santos, who is coming off his first UFC victory against Victor Altamirano and will try to build on that momentum when he meets his countryman in a potential Fight of the Night candidate.
Santos joined the UFC as an unbeaten talent in 2023 but suffered a split decision loss to Lerone Murphy before he was stopped by David Onama just three months later. Now set to return after more than a year out of the cage, “Mosquitinho” will try to earn his first UFC victory and spoil the promotional debut ofApr 8, 2023; Miami, Florida, USA; Jaqueline Amorim fights Sam Hughes during UFC 287 at Miami-Dade Arena.
A former LFA Strawweight Champion, Amorim’s debut at UFC 287 saw her suffer a unanimous decision loss to Sam Hughes in a fairly sizeable upset. The Brazilian rebounded from that result with back-to-back stoppage wins, and now she’ll try to keep that momentum going against another former LFA titleholder in Vanessa Demopoulos.Drew is an MMA writer that regularly watches regional events in addition to major promotions such as the UFC, PFL, Bellator, and ONE Championship.
