Machdo Garry, 27, returns to the Octagon after receiving his first loss to Shavkat Rakhmonov last December.
With the fight ending in a decision, many fans were impressed that Garry was able to hold his own, almost edging the victory.
The Irishman, widely considered one of the most skilled fighters in the division, is determined to return to winning ways— but standing in his way is the rising UFC welterweight, Carlos Prates.
The Brazillian contender is a force to be reckoned with, after impressing UFC president Dana White on The Contender Series, Prates has risen up the rankings rapidly.
Huge knockout wins over Li Jingliang and Neil Magny have propelled the 31-year-old star to the 13th rank at welterweight — an impressive outing after just one year with the promotion.
In the co-main event, UFC veteran Anthony Smith returns for one last fight against Zhang Mingyang in the Light-heavyweight division.
After recent losses to Roman Dolidze and Dominick Reyes, many fans believed we'd seen the last of 'Lionheart' — he's confirmed this bout will be the final fight of his career.
He now welcomes rising contender Zhang Mingyang — the Chinese prospect who burst onto the UFC scene last year after first-round knockout wins over both Ozzy Diaz and Brendson Ribeiro.

Graham Carey joins the big ex-St Johnstone contingent at Livingston
Livingston have confirmed the signing of former St Johnstone playmaker, Graham Carey. The 36-year-old was one of 16 players released by Saints following their relegation from the Premiership. And, if Stevie May stays at West Lothian, Livi will have four members of the Perth club's 2022/23 squad on their books. Ryan McGowan was a defensive stalwart for David Martindale as they bounced back to the top-flight through the play-offs. Earlier in the week, Connor McLennan, a Callum Davidson loan recruit at Saints, moved up a division from Ayr United. Livi fans know all about Carey's game-changing ability, with the Irishman's stunning long-range shot denying them a place in last season's Scottish Cup semi-finals. He won't be the only ex-Saint staying in the Premiership next term. Drey Wright, who was offered a new contract, is set to join Dundee.

Dana White becomes hero to fight fans with major Canelo-Crawford news as UFC promoter moves into boxing
Boxing fanatics weren't necessarily sold on UFC promoter Dana White when his involvement in the upcoming Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford bout was announced back in March. After all, his experience is primarily in mixed-martial arts and a fledgling slap-fighting circuit, so there was some natural skepticism about his capacity to win over the boxing audience. But on Tuesday, along with Saudi Boxing Federation president and Riyadh Season promoter Turki Al-Sheikh, White did just that by revealing Canelo-Crawford bout will be on Netflix and not pay per view. And according to another boxing promoter, that decision could make the highly anticipated September 13 bout historically popular. '#CaneloCrawford, streaming on @netflix, NO PPV, is a huge opportunity and showcase for #boxing,' veteran promoter and former HBO executive Lou DiBella wrote on X. 'It's also going to create proper momentum for the new Saudi/TKO promotion. Well done by Dana and all; re-securing Netflix was key. This will be one of the most watched fights EVER.' TKO is the conglomerate created by Endeavor as part of the highly publicized merger between the WWE and UFC parent company Zuffa. In March, the newly formed company announced a partnership with Al-Sheikh to launch a new boxing league next year which is being modelled after the UFC. Like DiBella, fans were understandably excited about the absence of any PPV fees: 'Crawford vs Canelo on Netflix at no additional cost?' one wrote, adding, 'Sign me up!' Not everyone was thrilled with the news about Netflix, particularly given the streaming giant's lackluster performance for the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul farce in November. Fans on both sides of the Atlantic faced poor image quality, prolonged buffering and spotty audio throughout the undercard. Meanwhile, hundreds online complained of error messages, while '#unwatchable' began trending on X. 'This unprecedented scale created many technical challenges, which the launch team tackled brilliantly by prioritizing stability of the stream for the majority of viewers,' Netflix CTO Elizabeth Stone wrote to employees afterwards, as reported by Bloomberg. Despite the problems, Netflix saw the event as a success after claiming as many as 65 million households were viewing at one point. White does have some experience promoting boxing events, including the wildly profitable and utterly disappointing 2017 snoozefest between Floyd Mayweather and converted UFC fighter Conor McGregor. He's also promoted fight cards involving Ireland's Callum Walsh, which were streamed on UFC Fight Pass. A year ago, White predicted his involvement in boxing would only grow in 2025, and on Tuesday, he laid out the vision he shares with Al-Sheikh. 'Turki wants to make the biggest fights that the fans want to see in boxing and this is right up my alley,' White said in quote he posted on X. 'Are you kidding me that the first boxing fight I'm going to get to promote is Canelo vs. Crawford? 'It's literally a once in a lifetime (sic) fight. Live on Saturday, September 13, streaming globally on Netflix, two of the GREATEST boxers in the sport will meet in a historic fight from Las Vegas.' A venue has not been named, but the city does have options ranging from the Raiders' Allegiant Stadium to the Golden Knights' T-Mobile Arena. It will be a huge task for Crawford given Canelo has never lost a fight at super middleweight. Crawford, who has a 41-0 record with 31 knockouts, will come up from 154 pounds to 168 pounds for the September showdown, having fought only once over 147 pounds in his entire career. What's more, he would be out of action for 13 months by the time he steps in the ring with Canelo. It will be a huge task for the American given Canelo has never lost a fight at super middleweight. The 34-year-old Alvarez is a four-weight world champion and entered his last fight against William Scull with the WBA, WBC and WBO titles at 168 pounds. He was previously stripped of the IBF belt last July when he declined to make a mandatory defense against Scull.

Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford make same vow as fight announced
After months of anticipation, the blockbuster super-middleweight showdown between Alvarez and Crawford has finally been confirmed and will take place later this year Both Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez have made a confident vow after their super-fight was made official. Saudi boxing chief Turki Alalshikh confirmed the blockbuster Riyadh Season showdown between the two pound-for-pound stars - which will take place in Las Vegas on Saturday, September 13. Alalshikh will team up with UFC president Dana White and Sela to promote the event - which promises to be one of the biggest fights of the year. Popular streaming service Netflix will broadcast the fight live globally to its 300+ million subscribers at no additional cost. With a little over three months to go until the super-middleweight dust-up, Alvarez and Crawford have both expressed their excitement about the upcoming contest. Following confirmation of the news, Alvarez - who beat William Scull last month - said: 'I'm super happy to be making history again and this time on a Riyadh Season Card that will be broadcast on Netflix. On September 13, I'm ready to show once again that I am the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.' Similarly, Crawford has also vowed to put on a career-defining display and secure an emphatic victory on fight night. 'My perfect record speaks for itself," Crawford said. "I am the best fighter in the world and no matter the opponent or weight class, I have always come out on top. On September 13, my hand will be raised once again as the world watches greatness.' With preparations already well underway, Alalshikh has vowed to deliver 'something truly incredible' for the boxing faithful come fight night. 'On September 13, Canelo and Crawford, two legends of boxing, will finally compete against each other in the fight of the century," he said. "Alongside Dana White and Sela, we will deliver something truly incredible in Las Vegas for fans around the world to enjoy through Netflix.' Recently, Alalshikh made a sudden U-turn about the event suggesting it would instead promoted as a Riyadh Season event, with White appearing to be left out in the cold. However, immediately after UFC 316 in New Jersey last weekend, White insisted everything is still running as planned with Alalshikh. And, on Tuesday afternoon, following confirmation that White WILL still be involved, the UFC president - who recently launched the new TKO boxing league, said: 'Turki wants to make the biggest fights that the fans want to see in boxing and this is right up my alley. Are you kidding me that the first boxing fight I'm going to get to promote is Canelo vs. Crawford? It's literally a once in a lifetime fight. Live on Saturday, September 13, streaming globally on Netflix, two of the GREATEST boxers in the sport will meet in a historic fight from Las Vegas.' Ahead of the mouthwatering event, Alvarez and Crawford will stage a three-city international press tour, kicking off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Friday, June 20 before heading to the United States for stops in New York at Fanatics Fest on Sunday, June 22 and in Las Vegas on Friday, June 27. 'Saul' has been a dominant force since losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2013. He has recently scored wins over Scull, Edgar Berlanga, Jaime Munguia, Jermell Charlo, and John Ryder. Meanwhile, Crawford, has not fought since defeating Israil Madrimov last August. The 37-year-old will be moving up two weight classes to challenge Alvarez.
