UFC returns to the APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, August 6 for another Fight Night card on ESPN. The main card will feature six bouts with light heavyweights Thiago Santos and Jamahal Hill headlining the event. The action will begin at 8 p.m. ET with six fights on the preliminary card. ESPN and ESPN+ will broadcast both the main card and the prelims.
Santos (22-10), a grizzled 10-year veteran of the UFC, has been on a slide since losing a disputed split decision to Jon Jones in a light heavyweight title fight at UFC 239. The 38-year-old has lost four of five and is hoping to keep his status as a top-10 ranked gatekeeper in the division.
The heavy-handed Hill (10-1-1) is 4-1-1 since earning a UFC contract after a win on Dana White's Contender Series. Back-to-back first-round knockout wins over Jimmy Crute and Johnny Walker have Hill in the top 10 and on the cusp of title contention. He is now a -320 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, with Santos betting at +265.
