The UFC is back in its “Sin City” home base this week, and bantamweight contenders are at the top of the lineup.
Here's how to watch UFC Fight Night 289, where a trio of 135-pound fights are on the main card.
Broadcast and streaming info
UFC Fight Night 289 has a main card that streams at 6 p.m. ET on Paramount+. The prelims stream on Paramount+ at 3 p.m. ET.
Stay tuned to MMA Junkie for additional broadcast details later this week.
Main event: Raul Rosas Jr.
- Record: 12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC
- Opponent: Raoni Barcelos (22-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC)
- Division: Bantamweight
- Key wins: Rob Font, Vince Morales, Aori Qileng, Ricky Turcios
- Misc.: After bonus-winning stoppages in his first three UFC wins, it’s been three straight decisions for the 21-year-old Rosas. This time, if he goes the distance, it’ll mean championship rounds for the first time in his career. With five straight wins, getting a sixth in a row before he turns 22 next month would be a huge feather in his cap for the title picture at 135 pounds.
Main event: Raoni Barcelos
- Record: 22-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC
- Opponent: Raul Rosas Jr. (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC)
- Division: Bantamweight
- Key wins: Montel Jackson, Ricky Simon, Cody Garbrandt, Payton Talbott, Cristian Quinonez, Trevin Jones, Said Nurmagomedov
- Misc.: If it feels like Barcelos has been around a minute, it’s because he has. The 39-year-old just passed eight years in the UFC, and he’s on his second five-fight winning streak in the promotion. The crazy part is, sandwiched in between those two five-fight streaks was a stretch of four losses in five fights. It’s been four straight decisions for Barcelos, but they’ve been against some certified standouts.
Co-main event: Robert Bryczek
- Record: 18-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC
- Opponent: Rodolfo Vieira (11-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC)
- Division: Middleweight
- Key wins: Brad Tavares, Lee Chadwick
- Misc.: For the first time since 2023, Poland’s Bryczek will fight twice in a calendar year. This time, he’ll be looking to erase the memory of a decision loss to Cam Rowston in May. His promotional debut in 2024 came after five straight first-round knockouts for Oktagon MMA, but the road’s been rougher in the UFC. His win over Tavares was a third-round knockout that he no doubt will be hoping to replicate Saturday.
Co-main event: Rodolfo Vieira
- Record: 11-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC
- Opponent: Robert Bryczek (18-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC)
- Division: Middleweight
- Key wins: Tresean Gore, Armen Petrosyan, Cody Brundage, Dustin Stoltzfus
- Misc.: For the first time in his career, Vieira is working off back-to-back losses. The UFC tenure for the 36-year-old Brazilian has been up-and-down, for sure. He’s currently working off three losses in four fights, which is a sharp turnaround from a run of three wins in four fights – all choke submissions, and all for post-fight bonuses.
