UFC FightNight Cannonier vs. Borralho 8/24/24 – 24th August 2024 Watch Wrestling

The UFC Fight Night event on August 24, 2024, is set to take place at the UFC Apex Arena in Las Vegas, NV. Known as UFC Vegas 96 or UFC Fight Night 242, the event will be headlined by a thrilling middleweight bout between Jared Cannonier and Caio Borralho. The action kicks off at 7 PM ET with the prelims, followed by the main card at 10 PM ET, which will be available for streaming on ESPN+ in the United States and UFC Fight Pass internationally.

The main event features Jared Cannonier, a seasoned UFC veteran who has competed in three different weight classes—heavyweight, light heavyweight, and middleweight—since his debut in 2015. Despite falling short in his bid for the UFC middleweight title against Israel Adesanya in 2022, Cannonier remains a top-five contender in the division. Facing him is the rising star Caio Borralho, who enters the Octagon with a six-fight unbeaten streak in the UFC and hasn’t suffered a professional loss since July 2015. A victory for Borralho could catapult him into the top ranks of the middleweight division.

The co-main event will see a women’s flyweight showdown between Angela Hill and Tabitha Ricci, both of whom are top-15 contenders in their division. The winner is likely to face a higher-ranked opponent in their next outing. Additionally, the event will feature The Ultimate Fighter 32 Finale matchups. The middleweight finale will pit elite wrestler Ryan Loder of Team Shevchenko against the aggressive Robert Valentin of Team Grasso, while the featherweight finale showcases a classic grappler-versus-striker clash between Team Grasso teammates Kaan Ofili and Mairon Santos. These fighters will be vying for the coveted title of The Ultimate Fighter as they make their mark in the UFC.
