HIGH STAKES LIGHTWEIGHT MATCHUP! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to UFC APEX on Sat., Sept. 23, 2023, with a high stakes 155-pound showdown as No. 6-ranked contender, Rafael Fiziev, takes on No. 7-seeded Mateusz Gamrot. In UFC Vegas 79’s co-main event, No. 12-ranked Featherweight contender, Bryce Mitchell, steps back into the Octagon against No. 13-seeded Dan Ige.
The recently-resurgent Brunson (22-7) has enjoyed the role of spoiler over the last few years, putting together four straight wins and shutting down a couple of top prospects in the process, including Edmen Shahbazyan and Kevin Holland, among others.
Till (18-3-1), meanwhile, still has some work to do to prove he belongs among the middleweight elite. After capturing a split decision over Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 244, the 18-3-1 “Gorilla” went down on points to Robert Whittaker in the UFC on ESPN 14 main event.
