The UFC returns to the APEX in Las Vegas today, August 24, for UFC Vegas 96, where middleweight contenders Jared Cannonier and Caio Borralho will face off in a highly anticipated main event.

As the final event before the UFC takes a brief pause ahead of the fall season, this fight card promises excitement for fans eager to see how these fighters will perform.

Main event breakdown: Cannonier vs. Borralho

Jared Cannonier, a former UFC middleweight title challenger, steps into the Octagon with a professional record of 17-7.

Currently ranked No. 5 in the middleweight division, Cannonier has been a consistent presence in the UFC, known for his striking power and resilience.

Although he's coming off a tough TKO loss to Nassourdine Imavov in June, Cannonier remains determined to prove that he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level, even at 40 years old.

On the other side, Caio Borralho, a rising star in the UFC, brings an impressive 16-1-0-1 record into the fight.

The 31-year-old Brazilian, ranked No. 12 in the middleweight division, has yet to taste defeat in his UFC career.

With six victories, including three by stoppage, Borralho has quickly made a name for himself as a dangerous opponent.

His most recent performance saw him dispatch Paul Craig with a second-round knockout, further solidifying his status as a serious contender.

Borralho's strategy is clear: he'll look to utilize his superior ground game to dominate Cannonier.

While Cannonier's best chance lies in keeping the fight standing, Borralho's wrestling and grappling could prove too much over five rounds.

With youth, athleticism, and a well-rounded skill set on his side, Borralho is poised to present Cannonier with one of the biggest challenges of his career.
