This week’s action begins in the welterweight division, as experienced Brazilian Carlos Prates takes on unbeaten American Mitch Ramirez.
Prates carries a 16-6 record and six-fight winning streak into battle this week in Las Vegas, having earned each of his last two victories by first-round stoppage under the LFA banner. A perfect 7-0 as a professional, the 30-year-old Ramirez has bounced around and fought in various promotions, earning wins in LFA, Tuff-N-Uff and, most recently, XMMA, where he finished Jeremie Holloway with leg kicks in the third round in May.

Someone’s run of success will come to an end inside the APEX, while someone else could potentially fulfill their dream of getting to compete on the biggest stage in the sport after Tuesday night.
It’s been an entertaining season thus far and there is no reason to believe that is going to change when the action returns to the UFC APEX this week.
