Welterweight veteran knockout artist Takashi Sato seeks out his first win since June 2020 as he takes on Themba Gorimbo, who is approaching his sophomore Octagon appearance. This projects as a striker-vs-grappler matchup as six of Gorimbo’s 10 professional wins have come via submission.
Also added to the card is a strawweight contest between Emily Ducote and Polyana Viana. Viana is in the best form of her career, having picked up three first-round finishes in her last four fights, most recently against Jinh Yu Frey in November 2022. On the other end, Ducote is hoping to bounce back from a decision loss to Angela Hill after picking up a win over Jessica Penne in her promotional debut.
The Fight Night is scheduled for May 20 in the UFC Apex.
