UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Pyfer—also referred to as UFC Fight Night 236, UFC on ESPN+ 94, and UFC Vegas 86—was a mixed martial arts competition organized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on February 10, 2024. The event took place at the UFC Apex venue located in Enterprise, Nevada, within the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States.
Background
The main event featured a middleweight clash between Jack Hermansson and Joe Pyfer.
A middleweight matchup between Rodolfo Vieira and Armen Petrosyan was held after being postponed previously due to Petrosyan’s illness.
Lerone Murphy was initially scheduled to compete against Dan Ige in a featherweight contest but withdrew because of an injury; Andre Fili stepped in as his replacement.
Shayilan Nuerdanbieke was set to battle Hyder Amil but pulled out for undisclosed reasons. His substitute, Melsik Baghdasaryan, later also withdrew due to injury, leading to Fernie Garcia taking his place.
A middleweight bout originally planned between Robert Bryczek and Albert Duraev underwent multiple changes after Duraev withdrew citing visa complications. Dylan Budka was briefly announced as a replacement but was removed due to medical concerns, resulting in Bryczek facing Ihor Potieria. Potieria failed to make weight by 1.5 pounds, turning the fight into a catchweight bout and incurring a 20% purse deduction paid to Bryczek.
A lightweight fight between Damir Hadžović and Bolaji Oki was arranged; however, Hadžović withdrew because of visa issues, with Timothy Cuamba stepping in to face Oki.
