With just eighteen days to go, the UFC Fight Night event scheduled for August 24 has finally secured an electrifying main event. Middleweight contenders Jared Cannonier and Caio Borralho are set to face off at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, the promotion revealed on Tuesday.

Cannonier (17-7) is eager to rebound after a controversial loss to Nassourdine Imavov in June, which halted his two-fight winning streak. That fight was his first in twelve months due to injury, and he is now determined to regain his momentum. Known for his explosive power and resilience, Cannonier aims to demonstrate why he remains a formidable force in the middleweight division.

On the other hand, Borralho (16-1) enters his first UFC main event riding a wave of success. He recently knocked out Paul Craig at UFC 301 in May, adding to an impressive list of victories over Abus Magomedov, Michal Oleksiejczuk, Makhmud Muradov, Armen Petrosyan, and Gadzhi Omargadzhiev. Borralho’s perfect UFC record and relentless pursuit of excellence make him a dangerous opponent and a rising star to watch.

The anticipation for this clash is palpable as both fighters have much at stake. Cannonier, a seasoned veteran, seeks to prove he can still compete at the highest level and contend for the title. Borralho, the young and hungry contender, looks to cement his status as a top middleweight and continue his ascent to championship contention.
