UFC Fight Night will take place on October 1 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mackenzie Dern and Yan Xiaonan, two top contenders in the 115-pound weight class, will square off in the main event.
Mackenzie Dern, who has a record of 12, last competed in April at UFC273, where she defeated Tecia Torres via split decision. In her last six battles, the 29-year-old has achieved victory five times. Her only defeat during that stretch was in October last year during the main event match against Marina Rodriguez.
Yan Xiaonan (14-3) from China has now lost two consecutive matches; nevertheless, those defeats came at the hands of Rodriguez and the current holder Carla Esparza. Before his recent losing streak of two fights, Yan had won six consecutive bouts in the Octagon.
Because Dern and Yan are currently ranked No. 4 and No.5, respectively, in the division, the outcome of this bout has the potential to have an instant impact on the standings inside the division.
The Welterweight co-main event pits rising star Randy “Rude Boy” Brown against highly experienced combatant Francisco “Massaranduba” Trinaldo.
