UFC returns home this weekend with UFC Fight Night: Magny vs. Prates, live from UFC APEX in Las Vegas on Saturday, Nov. 9, on ESPN+ (English and Spanish) and SiriusXM Fight Nation, with the main card at 7 p.m. ET and Prelims beginning at 4 p.m.

Main Event

  • Top 15 welterweight veteran Neil Magny (23-13) takes on rising contender Carlos Prates (20-6) in an intriguing main event clash. Known for his consistency and durability, Magny is making his 34th UFC appearance and has long served as the division’s gatekeeper, testing up-and-coming talents who aspire to break into the top ranks. He looks to prove he’s still a strong contender. Meanwhile, Prates, a Dana White’s Contender Series standout, enters with a 10-fight win streak, including three impressive UFC finishes. Now headlining for the first time, Prates aims to break into the Top 15 with a victory over a seasoned veteran like Magny.

Co-Main Event

  • Bantamweights Ricky Turcios (13-4) and Benardo Sopaj (11-3) square off in the co-main event. Turcios, winner of The Ultimate Fighter season 29, has alternated wins and losses, with victories over Kevin Natividad, Brady Hiestand, and Kaleb Petereit. Known for his aggression and scrambling ability, he’ll look to recapture that form here. Sopaj, who made his UFC debut in March, aims to make a statement in his second Octagon appearance.
