UFC Vegas 124 Main Event Set Between Brady, Bonfim
Sean Brady will fight Gabriel Bonfim in the UFC Vegas 124 main event a week after Halloween.
UFC Vegas 124 is set to take place on the night of Nov. 7 inside Meta Apex in Enterprise, NV. With still more than two months away from the event, UFC officials are starting to put together the promotion's first card of the year's penultimate month.
At the moment, there isn't much known as to who will fight on UFC Vegas 124 that November Saturday night. Over the weekend, however, fans learned who will set foot inside the fabled Octagon in the evening's main event.
During the telecast of UFC 330 from Philadelphia on Saturday night, it was revealed that welterweight action will serve as the focus of the UFC Vegas 124 main event from the Apex. No. 5 contender Sean Brady (19-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) fights No. 6 contender Gabriel Bonfim (20-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) in a five-round contest at five minutes per round.
Sean Brady Looking to Build off of May 9 Win in UFC Vegas 124
Sean Brady, who will be competing in Real American Freestyle's RAF 12 this coming Saturday night inside Wolstein Center on the Cleveland State University campus in Cleveland, OH versus Jordan Burroughs, will turn his attention to UFC Vegas 124 after the weekend. He'll be entering the Nov. 7 main event on the strength of a 4-1 record in his last five MMA fights.
It was just over three months ago when he last fought under the UFC promotional banner. On the evening of May 9, Brady versed Joaquin Buckley (21-8 MMA, 11-6 UFC) inside Prudential Center in Newark, NJ during UFC 328.
Buckley will also be headed to the Cleveland State campus on Saturday night for RAF 12. He'll be wrestling Tyron Woodley on the North Coast.
Prior to Brady's loss against Michael Morales last fall, he had won three fights in succession dating back to 2022, beginning with a contest versus Kelvin Gastelum by third-round submission due to a kimura choke.
Gabriel Bonfim on Hot Streak Going into UFC Vegas 124 Main Event
In the other corner, Gabriel Bonfim will enter the UFC Vegas 124 headliner on Nov. 7 having gone 5-0 in his last five outings. He's gotten his hand raised in victory six times consecutively ahead of this upcoming contest.
This past June, he battled Belal Muhammad (24-6, 1 NC MMA, 15-6, 1 NC UFC) during UFC Vegas 118 at Meta Apex, securing the victory by way of unanimous decision after five rounds of action in the headlining affair. He'll be fighting his second main event on as many shows when he meets Sean Brady on Nov. 7.
By the time the cage door shuts that Saturday evening, 151 days will have elapsed between fights for Bonfim. Whether he'll be able to extend his current winning streak to a seventh bout remains to be seen.
