The upcoming main event is set to take place at UFC Louisville.
Jared Cannonier, a former title contender in the 185-pound division, is making a return to the octagon to go up against Nasouddin Imavov, who is currently ranked eighth in the middleweight division. This highly anticipated fight is scheduled for Saturday, June 8, 2024, at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. While the details of the broadcast are still being finalized, UFC Louisville is expected to be televised on both ESPN and ESPN+.
Cannonier, with a record of 17 wins and 6 losses, has been inactive since his knockout victory over Marvin Vettori at UFC Vegas 75 last year due to an MCL injury that required him to take time off to recover.
Imavov, aged 29, with a professional record of 13 wins, 4 losses, and 1 no contest, is looking to secure his second consecutive win following his recent victory over Roman Dolisez at UFC Vegas 85 held at APEX earlier this year.
Apart from the headline match, UFC Louisville will showcase a bantamweight clash between Raul Rosas Jr. and Ricky Turcios. Other fights on the card include Julian Marquez facing off against Zach Rees in the middleweight category, and Ludovit Klein taking on Thiago Moises in the 155-pound weight class.
