UFC Vegas 97: Gilbert Burns vs. Sean Brady results [UPDATED LIVE]
By Amy Kaplan
The UFC is hosting a Fight Night card from Las Vegas on Sept. 7 at its own UFC APEX facility. This is the last Fight Night event before the highly anticipated UFC 306 card which takes place at the Sphere just up the road.
Headlining this card is a welterweight scrap between two top contenders with two very different goals. Both fighters are on a path to a title shot but Gilbert Burns is also looking to get back in the win column and Sean Brady looks for his first UFC title attempt. Both men are huge fan favorites and high-level grapplers so it will be interesting to see how the main event shakes out.
In the co-main event, former UFC champion Jessica Andrade takes on fellow Brazilian, Natalia Silva on their own paths to a UFC title. Much like the main event, one fighter has already seen the top of the mountain and the other is climbing her way to the first glimpse.
