Check out the fight card and bout order for the Sunday, May 29th UFC Fight Night event in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is headlined by bantamweight strikers Thomas Almeida and Cody Garbrandt.
Your Memorial Day weekend UFC show isn’t a pay-per-view this year, but it’s a damn good FS1 event. This special Sunday, May 29th fight card is stacked with exciting matchups, including the main event bout between undefeated bantamweight prospects Thomas Almeida and Cody Garbrandt. The co-main event sees Renan Barao move up to 145 lbs to face Jeremy Stephens.
As of this writing, Tarec Saffiedine is injured and potentially out of his matchup with Rick Story, but he’s not officially out of the fight. UFC officials are looking for possible replacements, so we’ll keep that in mind. Also keep your eye on Jorge Masvidal against Lorenz Larkin, which is just sensational matchmaking.
The prelims are headlined by women’s bantamweights Sara McMann and Jessica Eye, both of whom are desperately in need of a victory. On Fight Pass, top 5 ranked Aljamain Sterling faces off against #8 bantamweight Bryan Caraway, so the bantamweight division has some hugely important fights at both ends of the card.
