The first UFC PPV event of 2024 is packed with ranked versus ranked fights that you can’t miss.
The featherweight division is set to kick off the main card with a match between No. 4 Arnold Allen and No. 9 Movsar Evloev. Despite losing to #1 ranked featherweight Max Holloway at UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Allen, Allen holds an impressive professional record that stands at 19-2. On the other hand, Movsar Evloev boasts an undefeated professional record of 17-0, including a 7-0 mark in the UFC. Evloev’s most recent victory was a decision win over rising star Diego Lopes at UFC 288.

In the center of the main card we have the clash between middleweight #14 Chris Curtis and Marc-Andre Barriault, and welterweight #13 Neil Magny takes on Mike Malott. Given that Curtis and Barriault currently sit outside the Top-15 of their respective divisions, this presents a potential opening for these unranked fighters to make a breakthrough and get a coveted number next to their name.
