The UFC is returning to Louisville, Kentucky for the first time in 13 years with 13 fights already booked, including Dominick Reyes vs. Dustin Jacoby and Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Ricky Turcios, but the main event is yet to be determined.
Alright, folks, here’s the scoop. The UFC is making a comeback to Louisville, Ky. after a long 13-year hiatus. And guess what? They’ve got 13 fights lined up already. But the main event? Still a mystery.
The big day is June 8, at the KFC Yum Center. Last time UFC was in town, Diego Sanchez and Martin Kampmann headlined the show. Now, there’s a buzz about who’s gonna headline this time. But hey, nothing’s set in stone yet.
In the meantime, UFC’s spilled the beans on some of the matchups. Dominick Reyes, the two-time light heavyweight title challenger, is making a comeback. He’s up against Dustin Jacoby. Reyes has had a tough run, losing his last four fights. But he’s back in the game after a long break, ready to face Jacoby, a seasoned kickboxer.
Also on the card is teen sensation Raul Rosas Jr. He’s got a rebooked fight against Ricky Turcios. They were supposed to fight in February, but Rosas got sick. So, they’re gonna duke it out in June instead.
And there’s more. Thiago Moises is back in the lightweight division, facing Ludovit Klein. Brad Katona, the recent Ultimate Fighter winner, is up against Jesse Butler in the 135-pound category.
Here’s the full list of 13 fights announced by UFC. Still no word on the main event, though.
Dominick Reyes vs. Dustin Jacoby. Raul Rosas Jr. vs. Ricky Turcios. Miguel Baeza vs. Punahele Soriano. Thiago Moises vs. Ludovit Klein. Charles Radtke vs. Carlos Prates.
