The UFC returns to its home turf Saturday for UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Morales at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Welterweights Gilbert Burns and Michael Morales headline the 12-fight card.

Coverage begins at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN+ and Disney+. The main card is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Burns (22-8-0) steps into the Octagon for the first time since falling to Sean Brady by unanimous decision in September. The loss marked the third straight defeat for the 38-year-old Brazilian. Burns looks to end the slide against the unbeaten Morales.

Morales (17-0-0) cruised through his first five UFC bouts, including a first-round stoppage win over Neil Magny last August. The 25-year-old Ecuadorian looks to continue his climb up the welterweight ladder.
