UFC Fight Night: Suarez-Rosa live stream, start time, odds, betting splits

UFC Fight Night is set to get going this weekend from the Apex in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. ET. There is a five-bout main card highlighted by a light heavyweight showdown between No. 6 Nikita Krylov and No. 8 Ryan Spann. Also notable on the main card is a women's flyweight fight between Tatiana Suarez and Montana De La Rosa.

Suarez (8-0) returns to the octagon after several neck and knee injuries that paused her career. Prior to getting hurt, she was on par for a strawweight title opportunity, securing wins over Alexa Grassa, Carla Esparza, and Nina Nunes. She is a well rounded fighter, coming from a wrestling background, she is one of the better grapplers in UFC.

De La Rosa (12-7-1) is a tough flyweight who lost an unanimous decision to Maycee Barber in her last fight. De La Rosa has a good motor and can land some quality strikes over time. She can also take opponents to the mat with a solid jiu-jitsu game. Her weakness is dealing with grappling exchanges against the fence.
