After a rare week off, the
Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to the UFC Apex in Las
Vegas with a card topped by a strawweight clash.

UFC Fight Night 211 now features 12 fights, with Mackenzie
Dern vs. Xiaonan Yan
at the top of the card. Both women successfully made weight, along
with the remainder of the card that hit the scales. However,
Jessica
Penne succumbed to an illness unrelated to her weight cut, and
her scheduled contest against Tabatha
Ricci has been removed from the lineup.
This marks the second UFC main event for Dern (12-2), who
previously came up short against Marina
Rodriguez over five rounds. Besides that setback, the American
has won six of her last seven bouts. The grappler most recently
defeated Tecia
Torres via split decision. Dern stepped on the scale weighing
115.5 pounds.
Meanwhile, Yan (15-3, 1 NC) is coming off two straight setbacks. “Fury” also lost a decision to Rodriguez, and she was pounded out
by future champion Carla
Esparza. Before the losses, Yan had won six straight fights
inside the Octagon. Yan also officially weighed 115.5 pounds.
UFC Fight Night 211 will stream entirely on ESPN+ on Saturday.
Prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while the main card kicks off
at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
