LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – AUGUST 23: (LR) Opponents Jared Cannonier and Caio Borralho from Brazil face each other … (+)
The UFC is at the Apex in Las Vegas tonight for the UFC Vegas 96 fight card. In the main event, former UFC middleweight title challenger Jared Cannonier will face up-and-coming Caio Borralho. In the co-main event of UFC Fight Night, veteran strawweight contender Angela Hill will face Tabatha Ricci.
The main card for UFC Vegas 96 will air on ESPN at 10 p.m. ET, followed by prelims on ESPN at 7 p.m. ET.
Cannonier (17-7) is the No. 5 fighter in the official UFC rankings. He suffered a somewhat controversial TKO loss to Nassourdine Imavov in June, with some believing the referee in that fight stopped the fight early. Cannonier fought for UFC middleweight gold in July 2022, losing by decision to then-champion Israel Adesanya. Borralho (16-1-0-1), ranked 12th in the UFC 185-pound weight class, is undefeated in his UFC career. His last fight was in May, when he knocked out Paul Craig.
Hill (17-13) is fighting her 25th UFC fight tonight. She is ranked No. 9 in the UFC strawweight rankings. Hill has won two fights in a row prior to UFC Vegas 96. Her most recent win was a submission victory in May over Luana Pinheiro. Ricci (10-2) is ranked No. 11 in the 115-pound division. Her most recent fight was a decision victory over Tecia Pennington in May.
The featherweight and middleweight finals of the current season of The Ultimate Fighter are also on the program. In the 145-pound fight, Kaan Kaan Ofli will fight against Mairon Santos for a UFC contract. In the 185-pound class, Robert Valentin will compete against Ryan Loder.
