Following another successful pay-per-view event, the UFC hosts a Fight Night card that will be headlined by Jared Cannonier vs. Nassourdine Imavov. The event takes place this Saturday at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
The prelims portion of the event will kick off at 5pm ET and will be streaming live on ESPN+. The prelims will be followed by the main card, which kicks off at 8pm ET on ESPN and ESPN+.
Cannonier comes into his main event clash following back-to-back wins over Marvin Vettori and former middleweight champion Sean Strickland. He is currently the No.4 ranked UFC middleweight and could insert himself in the title picture should he earn an impressive win.
Imavov, on the other hand, is coming off a majority decision win over Roman Dolidze and has a great opportunity to move into the top-5 should he defeat Cannonier. A win over 'The Killa Gorilla' would arguably be the biggest of his career and legitimize himself as a potential title contender in the future.
