The annual three-week wait for the UFC ends this weekend with UFC Vegas 101, with the fight between Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas as the main event of the card in a rematch that will spark on Saturday, January 11 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
It will be a strawweight rematch and the card will feature the debuts of several promising recent graduates of Dana White’s Contender Series, which will serve as a warm-up for next week’s PPV return at UFC 311, with the Islam Makhachev vs Arman Tsarukyan clash.
The evening will feature some good fights, with Argentine Santiago Ponzinibbio in the co-main event against Carlston Harris. Also of note is the fight between Curtis and Kopylov, which has had its background, with Curtis accusing the Russian fighter of sending spies to his gym to learn the strategy he would use in this UFC Fight Night.
