Kicking off the first UFC show of the year, strawweight standouts Amanda Ribas and Mackenzie Dern go toe-to-toe for a second time at UFC Vegas 101. Over four years removed from her loss to the Brazilian, Dern is attempting to enter the 115-lb division top five, sitting at No. 6 on the official rankings. Coming off a main event defeat to Rose Namajunas, Ribas has the chance to grab her first victory since November 2023 with a second triumph over Dern.
UFC Vegas 101 Co-Main Event
In the co-main event of the evening, welterweight veterans Santiago Ponzinibbio and Carlston Harris battle it out for supremacy on their roads towards contendership. Eager to regain his position in the division’s top 15, Ponzinibbio will need a significant rebound this weekend in his bid to end his two fight skid. Looking to recover from a first round knockout to Khaos Williams, Harris is presented with the chance to add a venerable name in the 170-lb class to his already impressive resume.
