Fourteen fights in the tournament. Cannonier – Imavov. UFC on ESPN 57 card
Tonight in Louisville, USA, UFC on ESPN 57 will take place. The main event of this show will feature a bout between former UFC middleweight title contender, American Jared Cannonier, and France's Nassourdine Imavov.
Cannonier last stepped into the octagon last year at UFC Fight Night in June, where he defeated Marvin Vettori by decision. Prior to that, in 2022, he fought twice, failing to capture the championship belt against Israel Adesanya, but later securing a victory over Sean Strickland.
Imavov has already competed this year, defeating Roman Dolidze by decision in the main event of UFC Fight Night in February. Before that, he faced Chris Curtis in a bout that ended in a technical draw in the second round. A few months earlier, the Frenchman suffered a loss to Sean Strickland.
The co-main event will feature a light heavyweight clash between Americans Dominick Reyes and Dustin Jacoby.
A total of fourteen bouts are scheduled for the upcoming event, and Dailysports has prepared the full fight card for the tournament.
