Gilbert Burns & Michael Morales face off at the weigh-ins.
It's Saturday, which inevitably means, the UFC is doing its thing! This week, it Vegas and the PI, for 'UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Morales'!
There are two fighters making their debut, Yadier Del Valle and Matheus Camilo. Both have put together impressive winning streaks and want to show out as they hit the main stage. They're going up against two fighters that are potentially fighting for their roster place. So for Connor Matthews and Gabriel Green this could be the most important fight of their careers so far!
We have other fighters on impressive streaks on the card too. Park Hyun-sung is on a 12 fight high, with his two UFC fights ending with stoppages. Tainara Lisboa & Mairon Santos are both ridding five deep too.
The opening fight of the 'Main Card' has fun written all over it, as Julian Erosa & Melquizael Costa have never backed down from a war, whether it be on the feet or the ground!
Our last two fights have both got savvy vets, in Gilbert Burns & Paul Craig, who are both jiu jitsu masters, going against young, hungry savages. As Michael Morales and Rodolfo Bellato feel that this is THEIR time to shine.
