Only so much room exists for would-be contenders in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s bantamweight division—a reality Raoni Barcelos and Timur Valiev know all too well.

The two men will square off in a three-round UFC Fight Night 190 showcase on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, with the winner likely moving on to something bigger and better in the 135-pound weight class.
