Preview
The headliner bout will see #7 ranked middleweight Sean Strickland taking on Abusupiyan Magomedov, who was having a difficult time finding opponents. 2018 PFL Middleweight finalist, Magomedov made his UFC debut at UFC Paris in September last year by beating Dustin Stoltzfus. Around that bout, Magomedov has seen several of his bouts getting canceled after due to visa and opponent injuries.
Strickland lost to Alex Periera one year back which paved the way for Periera to challenge for the middleweight title. Strickland then headlined UFC’s last event in 2022, where he fell to a controversial split decision against Jared Cannonier. He took a short-notice fight against Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Vegas 67 and beat him via unanimous decision. He has taken yet another risk in facing the boogeyman Abusupiyan Magomedov at UFC Vegas 76.

Ismael Bonfim looks to build on his successful debut as he faces Benoît Saint-Denis. Ivana Petrović makes her UFC debut as she faces Luana Carolina in women’s flyweight bout.
