Set for Kansas City, Missouri, the UFC Fight Night event will have a new headliner.
At the T-Mobile Center on April 26th, Ian Machado Garry will return to action and face the burgeoning Carlos Star Award with an exciting welterweight headlining. The new main event will replace Jamahar Hill vs. Haril Roun Tree, the first headliner of the event. The promotion officially announced the news on Tuesday.
Ireland’s Machado Garry (15-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) is looking to recover from the first professional loss of his career. At UFC 310 in December, the previously undefeated competitors were short on scorecards against the undefeated Shabkat Rakmonov, who was billed as the title eliminator. Machado Garry won his first eight UFC fights in a straight win, including three finishes.
Brazilian Plates (21-6 MMA, 4-0 UFC) celebrated its banner debut year in 2024. He won four wins with four stops and four performance night bonuses. Trevin Giles, Charles Radtke, Li Jingliang and Neil Magny all stopped before the end of round two.
