UFC Fight Night: Allen vs. Craig (also known as UFC Fight Night 232, UFC on ESPN+ 90 and UFC Vegas 82) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on November 18, 2023, at the UFC Apex facility in Enterprise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States.[2]

Background

A middleweight bout between former LFA Middleweight Champion Brendan Allen and Paul Craig headlined the event.[3]

A featherweight bout between Jeka Saragih and Jesse Butler was scheduled for this event.[4] However, Butler withdrew due to injury and was briefly replaced by Charlie Campbell.[5] The promotion then announced that Lucas Alexander would step in and face Saragih instead.[6] At the weigh-ins, Alexander weighed in at 148 pounds, two pounds over the featherweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight with Alexander being fined 20% of his purse which went to Saragih.[7]

A middleweight bout between promotional newcomer César Almeida and Christian Leroy Duncan was scheduled for the event.[8] However, Almeida was pulled out from the event due to medical reasons.[9] He was replaced by Denis Tiuliulin.[10]

Jonny Parsons was expected to face Uroš Medić in a welterweight bout at the event.[11] However, Parsons was pulled out due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by promotional newcomer Myktybek Orolbai.[10]

At the weigh-ins, Rafael Estevam weighed in at 128 pounds, two pounds over the flyweight non-title fight limit. The fight proceeded at catchweight with Estevam being fined 20% of his purse which went to his opponent Charles Johnson.[7]
