UFC schedule today: UFC Fight Tonight: Is there a UFC card on Saturday, November 4, 2023?

The world's premier MMA promotion is headed to the Ibirapuera Arena for a UFC fight tonight in Sao Paulo, Brazil. UFC Fight Night: Almeida vs. Lewis (also known as UFC Fight Night 231) will feature a series of intriguing matchups, including several rising contenders and prospects based out of Brazil, on November 4, 2023.

In the main event of UFC Fight Night, No. 9-ranked heavyweight contender Jailton Almeida will lock horns with UFC veteran Derrick Lewis, who is positioned just below the Brazilian at No. 10.

Jailton Almeida is riding a 14-fight win streak into this main bout and is fresh off a first-round submission win over Jairzinho Rozenstruik earlier this year. The Brazilian has finished all of his 19 pro-MMA wins and looks to continue his upward trajectory with another statement performance at UFC Fight Night on Saturday.

Derrick Lewis, meanwhile, got back into the win column with a stunning first-round knockout of Marcos Rogerio de Lima last time out in July. 'The Black Beast' finished in all three of his outings before the latest winning effort against Rogerio de Lima. The Texan will be determined to put together another win streak starting Saturday and maintain his position in the top 10 of the division.
