UFC Fight Tonight: Is there a UFC card on Saturday, September 7, 2024?

The UFC is headed back to the APEX Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sept. 7, 2024, for its next card, UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Brady (also known as UFC Vegas 97 and UFC Fight Night 242).

Headlining the UFC Vegas 97 will be a thrilling welterweight showdown between the No.6-ranked contender Gilbert Burns and Sean Brady, who is positioned two spots below the Brazilian at No.8.

Burns will hope to get back on track after suffering back-to-back losses for the first time in his career. 'Durinho' dropped a unanimous decision to Belal Muhammad at UFC 288 and was subsequently knocked out by Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 299 in March this year.

Brady, meanwhile, suffered his lone career defeat at the hands of current welterweight champion Belal Muhammad at UFC 280 but rebounded impressively with a submission victory over Kelvin Gastelum last December. The Pennsylvanian will hope to keep the momentum going when he returns to the octagon on Saturday.
