UFC Fight Night: Grasso vs. Araujo will be live from UFC APEX in Las Vegas this Saturday, Oct. 15, exclusively on ESPN+ (English and Spanish), with the main card at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, preceded by the Prelims at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT. Live coverage begins Friday with UFC Live presented by DraftKings Sportsbook: Grasso vs. Araujo at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN2, providing fans with exclusive insights and views heading into Fight Night.
The main event features a clash between top contenders in the flyweight division as No. 5 ranked Alexa Grasso (14-3) squares off against No. 6 Viviane Araujo (11-3). Grasso looks to make the most of her first UFC main event after posting three straight wins establishing herself as a threat in the flyweight division since moving up from strawweight. Araujo arrives at the UFC APEX with five victories in her last seven bouts. The winner will be heading into 2023 near the top of the list of potential challengers in the 125-pound weight class.
In the co-main event, Cub Swanson (28-12) debuts in the bantamweight division against Jonathan Martinez (16-4). Following a 33-fight run competing in the featherweight division, Swanson looks to deliver another Hall of Fame worthy performance to bantamweight while Martinez aims to leverage his three-fight winning streak to beat an established veteran and secure the biggest win of his career.
Brendan Fitzgerald will call the action, joined by Paul Felder and two-time UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz. Charly Arnolt will handle reporting duties. Victor Davila and Marlon Chito Vera will provide all coverage in Spanish.
