UFC Kansas City goes down on April 15, starting with the preliminary card at 5:30 p.m. ET.

The UFC is taking a trip to Kansas City, Missouri, with 14 bouts scheduled for the T-Mobile Center. The first eight bouts can be seen on ESPN+, with the six-fight main card following at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN/ESPN+.

In the main event, number two-ranked UFC featherweight Max Holloway takes on number four-ranked Arnold Allen. Holloway is attempting to get back on track after suffering a unanimous decision loss against Alexander Volkanovski for the 145-pound title in July 2022. Meanwhile, Allen has won all 10 of his UFC fights and hopes to earn a title shot by defeating ‘Blessed.’

The co-main event features action-packed featherweights Edson Barboza and Billy Quarantillo looking to make a statement with another thrilling performance. Barboza has lost his last two fights against Giga Chikadze and Bryce Mitchell, while Quarantillo took out Alexander Hernandez with a standing TKO in December 2022.
