UFC Fight Night 229 has a main card that begins at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+. The prelims stream on ESPN+, as well, beginning at 4 p.m. ET.

Main event: Grant Dawson

Grant Dawson (20-1-1 MMA, 8-0-1 UFC) has been on an absolute tear for seven years. His only blemish in that time is a majority draw with Ricky Glenn nearly two years ago. Other than that, it’s been just short of a dozen wins, including eight in the UFC. On the heels of a July decision win over Damir Ismagulov, Dawson has another standout in front of him in Bobby Green (30-14-1 MMA, 11-9-1 UFC).

Main event: Bobby Green

Bobby Green def. Tony Ferguson, UFC 291

Bobby Green (30-14-1 MMA, 11-9-1 UFC) got a much-needed win ini July when he finished former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson with six seconds left with an arm-triangle choke. Prior to that, he had a no contest to deal with from an accidental head clash with Jared Gordon, and a pair of losses to current champ Islam Makhachev and Drew Dober. To stay on track, Green will have to hand Grant Dawson the first loss of his UFC career.

Co-main event: Abdul Razak Alhassan vs. Joe Pyfer

Joe Pyfer (11-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) continued to impress in April when he took out Gerald Meerschaert with a first-round TKO. It was his fourth straight win, including two in the UFC. At around 5-1, he’s the biggest betting favorite on the card in his middleweight fight against Abdul Razak Alhassan (12-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC), who got back in the win column in January after a fourth stretch of four losses in five fights.

A big head-kick KO got Joaquin Buckley (16-6 MMA, 6-4 UFC) back in the win column in May after back-to-back losses. He’ll go after two straight when he takes on Alex Morono (23-8 MMA, 12-5 UFC), who got his own finish in May with a submission of Tim Means.
