UFC Fight Night 242 (also known as UFC on ESPN+ 100) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on June 8, 2024, at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. [1]
Background
The event will mark the promotion's second visit to Louisville and first since UFC Live: Sanchez vs. Kampmann in March 2011. [1]
A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Jared Cannonier and Nassourdine Imavov is expected to headline the event. [2]
A bantamweight bout between Raul Rosas Jr. and The Ultimate Fighter 29 bantamweight winner Ricky Turcios is expected to take place at the event. [3] They were originally scheduled to meet at UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Royval 2 on February 24, but Rosas Jr. was forced to withdraw just before the bout was expected to begin due to an illness. As a result, the pairing was initially pushed back one week to UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Gaziev before it was ultimately cancelled by the promotion. [4] [5]
