UFC Fight Tonight: Is there a UFC card on Saturday, July 1, 2023?

The UFC is headed back to its Apex Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, for its upcoming fight card, UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Magomedov. The action will go down this Saturday, July 1, with a bunch of fun scraps to look out for.

Headlining the UFC Fight Night card will be a clash between the No.7-ranked middleweight contender Sean Strickland and the unranked Abusupiyan Magomedov.

Sean Strickland suffered back-to-back losses last year after compiling a six-fight win streak. 'Tarzan' bounced back from those defeats with a decision win over Nassourdine Imavov last time out in January. The Californian now hopes to build another win streak and take another step towards the title with a win over a streaking opponent.

Abusupiyan Magomedov, meanwhile, is set to make his second walk to the octagon this Saturday. The Russian picked up a first-round technical knockout win over Dustin Stoltzfus in his octagon debut last September to record his third straight finish.

Magomedov will hope to carry that momentum into his upcoming bout this Saturday and burst into the divisional rankings with a convincing performance.
