Fighters on the Rise | UFC Fight Night: Burns vs Brady

Highlighting The Ascending Talents Stepping Into The Octagon This Weekend

Last September, Benoit Saint Denis announced his presence as a bonafide Top 15 fighter in the lightweight division, Morgan Charierre made his electric UFC debut, Carlos Ulberg kept it rolling, Chepe Mariscal collected a second win in a couple moths, and both Daniel Zellhuber and Raul Rosas Jr. wrapped up finishes at the inaugural Noche UFC event at T-Mobile Arena.

Those are just a handful of the breakout efforts that transpired over the month last year inside the Octagon, and as this year’s September action readies to kick off this weekend at the UFC APEX, we thought we’d highlight a trio of competitors that are looking to have their breakthrough moments this weekend.
