The former featherweight title contender returns from his mandatory military service to headline the UFC’s Super Bowl show. He jumps right back into the thick of the division with a matchup against Dennis Bermudez.
The six-fight main card also features two important strawweight tilts. In the co-main event, Alexa Grasso looks to take the next step up the ladder and go from prospect to contender against Felice Herrig. However, in spite of it’s card placement, there is a bigger 115-pound fight on the docket.
Angela Hill, the former Invicta FC champion, returns to the UFC to take on Jessica Andrade in what should be a title eliminator, sending the winner into a bout against Joanna Jedrzejczyk later this year.
What does the B/R staff think of these fights and the remainder of the main card?
Craig Amos, Scott Harris, Steven Rondina and Nathan McCarter join you once again for a complete rundown of the main card and offer their predictions. Let’s hit it!

The Toyota Center in Houston, Texas will play host to UFC Fight Night 104 this weekend. Featuring in the main event will be a featherweight clash, showcasing one of the most exciting fighters in the division’s history. ‘Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung returns after a three-year absence, but it’s no gimme fight. Facing ‘KZ’ will be top 10 staple Dennie Bermudez, so expect all kinds of war in TX. At women’s strawweight is where the co-main event lands, and we’ll see Alexa Grasso against Felice Herrig. Currently unbeaten as a pro, Grasso will look to keep the ball rolling against Herrig, who is coming off a submission win over Kailin Curran.
Lightweight brawler Abel Trujilo will collide with 9-1 James Vick, and there’s also the return of Ovince St-Preux as he faces Volkan Oezdemir. Heavyweights Marcel Fortuna and Anthony Hamilton have unfinished business, and opening the card is a great fight between Jessica Andrade and Angela Hill.
Korean Zombie’s Return
Tecia Torres and Bec Rawlings highlight a solid undercard, but watch out for rising prospect Niko Price too. The early weigh-ins kick off at 10 AM ET, but sadly there are no traditional weigh-ins scheduled for the evening. Join us right here, at LowKickMMA, for the updated UFC Fight Night 104 weigh-ins throughout the morning. We’ll look to add a live stream of the weigh-ins to the article as they arise.

Fan-favorite Chan Sung Jung, the Korean Zombie, finally makes his long-awaited return to the Octagon after three years away due to injuries and a two-year stint in the South Korean military. He takes on Dennis Bermudez in a firecracker of a main event on Fox Sports 1 this Saturday from Houston.
That is just the cap to an evening of fun, well-matched fights. In the co-main event, rising star Alexa Grasso takes on Felice Herrig in a classic prospect vs. veteran matchup. With a win, Grasso could establish herself as the next big thing in a strawweight division that’s quickly becoming one of the UFC’s deepest and most consistently entertaining weight classes.
Another strawweight bout opens the main card on FS1, pitting Invicta FC champion Angela Hill against Jessica Andrade in a fantastic fight. Hill has won four in a row since her release from the UFC, and Andrade is 2-0 at 115 pounds. With a win, Andrade could punch her ticket to a title fight against Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
Although that’s about it for name value, practically every fight should be fun. The lightweight bout between Abel Trujillo and James Vick should be a barnburner, and keep an eye on the preliminary-card headliner between young heavyweights Curtis Blaydes and Adam Milstead.
