The Octagon returns to its home base inside of the UFC Apex in Las Vegas with a slate of twelve action-packed fights for UFC on ESPN+ 109. The headliner is a five-round middleweight bout that sees eighth-ranked former title challenger Jared Cannonier looking to get back into the win column against rising contender Gregory Rodrigues. Cannonier has lost two straight fights as he’s struggled to get back into the title picture, while Rodrigues enters his first UFC main event looking to extend his three-fight win streak and find a spot in the middleweight rankings as he climbs the division ladder. In the co-main event, Calvin Kattar looks to end a three-fight losing skid when he takes on Youssef Zalal, winner of six straight fights. Also on the main card is a middleweight bout between Edmen Shahbazyan and Dylan Budka; a lightweight bout pitting Ismael Bonfim against Nazim Sadykhov; and a bout between middleweight submission specialists Rodolfo Vieira and Andre Petroski opens the main card.
