NEIL MAGNY vs CARLOS PRATES
Welterweight Main Event:
Neil Magny is a 37-year-old American fighter who has fought within the UFC for over 11 years. He is known for his effective striking and his grappling skills, however he has been on both the winning and losing side many times in his career and can be described as inconsistent.
He has lost 3 and won 2 of his last 5 fights, with his most recent bout taking place in August when he fought Michael Morales and lost in round 1 by TKO.
Carlos Prates, fighting out of Brazil, is a fighter who is quickly making a name for himself in the UFC as a brutal striker due to him winning all 3 of his professional fights under the organisation. It is important to note that all 3 fights have been won by KO/TKO and they have all ended before the 3rd round.
His most recent fight was held in August, where he beat Li Jingliang by round 2 TKO to continue his win streak.

KAROLINA KOWALKIEWICZ vs DENISE GOMES
Women’s Strawweight Bout:
Karolina Kowalkiewicz is a Polish fighter with nearly 9 years of UFC experience, and she is known for her great stamina and wrestling abilities. She has had a tough career, going through patches where her form fluctuates and she either wins or loses a few fights consecutively.
Since mid-2022 she has been on good form, winning 4 of her last 5 fights, however, she lost her most recent fight against Iasmin Lucindo by decision in May.
Denise Gomes is a fighter from Brazil who is known for her clean striking and athletic ability. She has fought 5 times for the UFC so far, winning 3 and losing 2. Her most recent encounter saw her step in the octagon with Eduarda Moura in June where she did enough throughout the 3 rounds to win the fight by decision.
