The UFC returned with another Fight Night card at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday (September 7) with two top welterweight contenders in the night's main event.

Gilbert Burns vs. Sean Brady

The main event saw #6-ranked Gilbert Burns try to avoid dropping three fights in a row when he met #8-ranked Sean Brady.

Brady rebounded from the first loss of his professional career when he returned last December and scored a submission-win over Kelvin Gastelum, and now he's firmly in welterweight title contention after earning a dominant unanimous decision against Burns.

The night’s co-main event was also a huge women’s flyweight bout featuring former UFC Strawweight Champion Jéssica Andrade and Natália Silva.

“Bate Estaca” won back-to-back fights after she was previously finished in three-straight bouts, but Silva spoiled Andrade's return to flyweight by earning a unanimous decision that preserved her unbeaten UFC record.

The rest of the main card saw Steve Garcia earn his fifth-straight knockout when he defeated Kyle Nelson, and Cody Durden also submitted Matt Schnell in the second round after stepping in to replace Alessandro Costa on just a few days' notice.
