UFC on ESPN 57 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on June 8, 2024, at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, United States.[1]
Background[edit]
The event will mark the promotion's second visit to Louisville and first since UFC Live: Sanchez vs. Kampmann in March 2011.[1]
A middleweight bout between former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Jared Cannonier and Nassourdine Imavov is expected to headline the event.[2]
A bantamweight bout between Raul Rosas Jr. and The Return of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Volkanovski vs. Team Ortega bantamweight winner Ricky Turcios is expected to take place at the event.[3] They were originally scheduled to meet at UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Royval 2 on February 24, but Rosas Jr. was forced to withdraw just before the bout was expected to begin due to an illness. As a result, the pairing was initially pushed back one week to UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Gaziev before it was ultimately cancelled by the promotion.[4][5]
