Chinese athlete Yang Xiaonian will meet in the octagon with the master of submission techniques Mackenzie Dern . The 5 round fight will take place at the APEX Arena in Las Vegas on October 1st.
Yang Xiaonian is a once-promising athlete who entered the UFC in 2017 on a 6-fight streak. The Chinese won 6 consecutive victories in the best league in the world before stumbling twice in battles with Carla Esparza and Marina Rodriguez. However, she has previously defeated such rivals as Karolina Kowalkiewicz, Claudia Gadelha and Angela Hill. Mackenzie Dern, like Xiaonian, had an impressive UFC winning streak. She was on a streak of 4 wins in a row, three of which were finishes, until she faced Marina Rodriguez, whom she lost via unanimous decision. Apparently, the fight between Xiaonian and Mackenzie should determine who deserves to enter the title race, and who should get some class.

"DC" knows who the Irishman needs to fight and who he will fight in the end.The return of Conor McGregor to the UFC is as obvious as the non-return of Khabib Nurmagomedov there. It’s just that a fighter of such status and with such ambitions will not be able to end his career after several failures, even despite a terrible leg injury, from the consequences of which he has not yet recovered.
In one of the last interviews, Dana White said that negotiations with Notorious will resume as soon as the doctors allow him to complete training, and then talk about the opponent will begin. But Daniel Cormier , who is not the last person in the UFC , already probably knows with whom the Irishman will share the cage, although he does not approve of his choice.

15 May Slavic derby for light heavyweight title contender status, performance by Ion Kutselaba and the return of Michael Johnson.Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz will return in a challenge match against #3 light heavyweight Alexander Rakic. Their bout this weekend will headline UFC on ESPN 36 in the Enterprise, USA.
Rakic (14-2) is 7-1 in the UFC and has lost only to Volkan Özdemir in four years in the organization and then by controversial decision. In the last two fights, the Rocket has won unconditional victories over former title contenders Thiago Santos and Anthony Smith ( video ).
Blachowicz (28-9) tried on the vacant UFC belt last year when he sensationally knocked out Dominic Reyes , who had previously beaten Jon Jones well and forced the ex-champion to run from a rematch under a far-fetched pretext.
