Petr Yan | Greatest Hits

In the main event, former bantamweight champion Petr Yan returns after suffering a knee injury during his win over Song Yadong at UFC 299 to face former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo, with both athletes looking to secure a title shot. Yan is 1-3 in his last 4, but all three losses were to championship-level fighters. Figueiredo comes in on a three-fight win streak at 135 pounds and most recently defeated Marlon Vera back in August.

Yan Xiaonan welcomes Tabatha Ricci to a huge jump in competition during the co-main event. At 18-4, 1NC overall, Yan’s solidified herself as a strawweight mainstay. In her last outing, she lost a unanimous decision to Zhang Weili at UFC 300, so she will be looking to get back on the winning side of things against “Baby Shark.” Ricci is 6-2 inside the Octagon and has won two straight against Angela Hill and Tecia Pennington. It’s a big opportunity for the No.10 strawweight with Yan being No. 2.
A pair of ranked light heavyweights will go to battle this Saturday when Carlos Ulberg takes on Volkan Oezdemir, with both men aiming for a signature win. Ulberg is on a six-fight winning streak, with five coming by finish, and has quickly become a dangerous opponent for anyone in the division. On the other side, Oezdemir has won two in a row, including a devastating knockout over Johnny Walker last June.
