On Saturday July 9, UFC returns with another stacked event at the Apex in Las Vegas.
In the main event, No. 7 ranked lightweight Rafael dos Anjos will face No. 10 ranked Rafael Fiziev in a five rounder. The former lightweight champion dos Anjos is coming of a win against Renato Moicano at UFC 272 in March. Fiziev rides a five fight win streak, including game opponents Renato Moicano, Bobby Green and Brad Riddell.
In the co-main event, Caio Borralho takes on Armen Petrosyan in a middleweight bout. Brazil’s Borralho has won eight fights in a row, the last win coming in April when he defeated Gadzhi Omargadzhiev. In February, Petrosyan won his UFC debut via split decision against Gregory Rodrigues.
The UFC Vegas 58 prelims features a interesting fight in the women’s flyweight division between No. 10 ranked Cynthia Calvillo and Nina Nunes, as well as a bout between flyweights Antonina Shevchenko and Cortney Casey.
