Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is just over 24 hours away from its upcoming UFC Vegas 97 mixed martial arts (MMA) event, headlined by a 170-pound showdown between welterweight rivals Gilbert Burns and Sean Brady. The action gets underway this Sat. night (Sept. 7, 2024) on ESPN+ from inside the promotion’s APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, and also features a strawweight co-headliner between 115-pound stalwarts Jessica Andrade and Natalia Silva.
Before the ESPN+ live stream gets underway this weekend in “Sin City,” which includes the featherweight fracas pitting Steve Garcia against Kyle Nelson, all 24 fighters must hit the scale to prove themselves worthy. Note: Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) affords a one-pound allowance in non-title fights.
