UFC Fight Night returns to the APEX in Paradise, Nevada on Saturday, October 1. It's a full night of fights that will be headlined by women strawweights Mackenzie Dern and Xiaonan Yan. Dern is ranked No. 5 in the women's strawweight division and Song is ranked No. 6.
The event will get underway at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN+ with seven fights on the preliminary card. The main card is currently scheduled to get started at 7 p.m. ET. Even if it is delayed, that's close enough to plan your evening accordingly. And if you only care about the main event between Dern and Yan, it's estimated to start just after 9 p.m. ET.
Dern (12-2) is one of the most prolific grapplers in the sport and has won five of her last six fights. She looks to put her name into big fight contention with a victory this Saturday.
Let @MackenzieDern teach you how to lock those legs in! ?
