The highly anticipated UFC Fight Night: Garry vs. Prates card takes place this Saturday, April 26, at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City. This will be the first time that UFC will be back in Kansas City, Missouri, since April 15, 2023. All fights on the card are scheduled for three five-minute rounds, except the main event between Ian Machado Garry and Carlos Prates which is scheduled for five five-minute rounds.

The start of the main card will be marked by a middleweight bout between Ikram Aliskerov vs. André Muniz. The Dagestani fighter will be looking to get back to winning ways after suffering a knockout defeat against former champion Robert Whittaker in his previous outing. Their bout will be followed by a welterweight battle between Randy Brown and Nicolas Dalby.

Afterward, Michel Pereria will be hoping to get back in the win column as makes his return to the octagon in a middleweight bout with Abusupiyan Magomedov. That is followed by a featherweight clash between Georgia's Giga Chikadze and David Onama.
