UFC Fight Tonight: Is there a UFC card on Saturday, May 11, 2024?

The UFC is headed back to the Enterprise Center, in St. Louis, Missouri, on May 11, 2024, for UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Nascimento (also known as UFC St. Louis and UFC on ESPN 56).

The UFC Fight Night card will be headlined by an exciting heavyweight showdown between the No.12-ranked Derrick Lewis and the No.15-ranked Rodrigo Nascimento.

Derrick Lewis' octagon career has been on a downward trajectory of late. 'The Black Beast' is 1-4 in his last five fights waith three of those losses coming via stoppage. The Texan most recently dropped a unanimous decision to Jailton Almeida in November after scoring a TKO win over Marcos Rogerio de Lima earlier that year.

Rodrigo Nascimento will feature in his first UFC main event as he faces one of the toughest challenges of his career thus far. The Brazilian picked up a unanimous decision win over Don'Tale Mayes last time out in November before clinching back-to-back split-decision victories against Tanner Boser and Ilir Latifi.

Nascimento will look to climb up the heavyweight rankings with a statement performance against the veteran.
