Former 135-pound champion, Petr Yan, will return to action opposite ex-flyweight titleholder, Deiveson Figueiredo, in a five-round bantamweight showdown for the upcoming UFC Macau mixed martial arts (MMA) main event, locked and loaded for this Sat. night (Nov. 23, 2024) at Galaxy Arena in Macau, China.
Watch their first face off in the embedded video above.
Yan (17-5) snapped a three-fight losing streak by outpointing Yadong Song at the UFC 299 pay-per-view (PPV) event back in March. Figueiredo (24-3-1), ranked two spots below “No Mercy” at No. 5, has captured three in a row, including last August’s decision victory over Marlon Vera at UFC Abu Dhabi.
That’s not all.
In the UFC Macau co-main event, No. 2-ranked women’s strawweight contender Xiaonan Yan goes head-to-head with No. 10-ranked “Baby Shark” Tabatha Ricci. “Fury” is looking to rebound from her unanimous decision loss to Zhang Weili at UFC 300 while Ricci will be gunning for her third straight win.
