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.
