The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday closes out its 2024 campaign at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, and does so with a decent preliminary slate attached. Lightweights lead the way here: Michael Jackson returns to action against Ottman Azaitar in an encounter that should end in a knockout, while Joel Alvarez meets Drakkar Klose in an expertly matched affair that could send the winner into the Top 15. Intrigue exists elsewhere, too. Sean Woodson and Fernando Padilla collide in a battle between two of the tallest featherweights on the roster, and late-notice featherweight scrap between full-time bantamweights Miles Johns and Felipe Lima could put the victor in position to make some major waves.
