### UFC Vegas 100: Magny Faces Prates in Welterweight Showdown

Saturday night at UFC APEX in Las Vegas set the stage for UFC Vegas 100, headlined by a welterweight bout between Neil Magny and Carlos Prates. In this main event, Magny aimed to rebound from a rocky stretch in which he lost three of his last five fights, while Prates sought to extend his winning streak, having triumphed in all three of his UFC bouts to date.

The co-main event featured a compelling middleweight matchup, pitting UFC veteran Gerald Meerschaert against Reinier de Ridder, the former TWO-division titleholder from ONE Championship. De Ridder was making his highly anticipated debut in the UFC, adding an extra layer of excitement to the fight card.

As the evening progressed, fans were eager to see whether Magny could halt his recent skid and if Prates could continue his impressive performance within the octagon. Similarly, Meerschaert faced the challenge of welcoming the skilled newcomer de Ridder to the UFC and proving his own formidable abilities.
