Here is a list of all the main card fights for this weekend’s UFC Fight Night event:
Jailton Almeida vs. Derrick Lewis (heavyweight)
Most of the focus on the night will be on the main event as Jailton Almeida faces off against Derrick Lewis. Jailton Almeida is fresh off a first-round submission victory over Jairzinho Rozenstruik in May and has finished all of his 19 pro career wins. The Brazilian will look to continue his climb up the heavyweight ranks with another statement performance on the UFC card tonight.
After getting finished in three straight fights, Derrick Lewis bounced back with a vicious first-round knockout of Marcos Rogerio de Lima in July. ‘The Black Beast’ will be determined to keep the momentum going and maintain his spot in the divisional top 10 as he aims to build another win streak starting Saturday.
Gabriel Bonfim vs. Nicolas Dalby (welterweight)
The next fight on the card will feature Gabriel Bonfim against Nicolas Dalby in the welterweight division. Bonfim will make his third UFC appearance this weekend hoping to extend his unbeaten record to a perfect 16-0. The undefeated standout has finished all of his wins, including 12 submissions and 3 KO/TKOs.
Nicolas Dalby is riding a three-fight win streak into this bout with all of those victories coming via decision. The Danish fighter most recently outpointed a game Muslim Salikhov in June.
Rodrigo Nascimento vs. Don’Tale Mayes (heavyweight)
Rodrigo Nascimento will look to produce a convincing win on the UFC card tonight after picking up back-to-back split decision victories. In his latest outing in May, the Brazilian edged out Ilir Latifi. Don’Tale Mayes is fresh off a second-round TKO of Andrei Arlovski in June. The Louisville native has lacked consistency since the start of his UFC career and is 3-3-1 under its banner.
Caio Borralho vs. Abus Magomedov (middleweight)
Caio Borralho will be aiming for his fifth straight UFC win when he returns to the octagon on the UFC card tonight. The Brazilian most recently scored a second-round submission win over Michal Oleksiejczuk in April. Abus Magomedov will look to get back on track after suffering a TKO loss against current middleweight champion Sean Strickland last time out in July. The Russian had three straight finishes to his name prior to his loss to Strickland.
Rodolfo Vieira vs. Armen Petrosyan (middleweight)
Rodolfo Vieira has alternated wins and losses in his last four outings. In his latest outing in April, ‘The Black Belt Hunter’ picked up a second-round submission win over Cody Brundage earlier this year.

Ismael Bonfim vs. Vinc Pichel (lightweight)
Ismael Bonfim had a 13-fight win streak snapped in a first-round submission loss to Benoit St. Denis in July. The 27-year-old Brazilian will be determined to get back to winning ways when he makes his third promotional appearance on the UFC card tonight. Vinc Pichel ended up on the wrong side of a unanimous decision against Mark O. Madsen in April of 2022, bringing an end to his three-fight win streak.
