Seven-division titlist, recent Professional Fighters League (PFL) signee and current undisputed women’s Featherweight champion, Amanda Serrano, takes on mandatory challenger, Danila Ramos, later this evening (Fri., Oct. 27, 2023) atop a “Most Valuable Prospects”-themed card on DAZN. The twist? They’ll be fighting for 12, three-minute rounds, the first such women’s bout since 2007.
MMAmania.com will deliver LIVE coverage of the “Serrano vs. Ramos” main event below — DAZN’s main card broadcast kicks off at 8 p.m. ET.
Serrano’s WBC title won’t be on the line because WBC President, Mauricio Sulaiman, has spent years lying about 12×3 fights being unsafe for women, but the other three belts will be up for grabs. Other action sees Bantamweight contender, Antonio Vargas, meet overcooked former great, Hernan “Tyson” Marquez, undefeated Welterweight Damian Lescaille make his fourth appearance of 2023, and more.
