UFC Macau Returns with Yan vs. Figueiredo in Pivotal Bantamweight Clash

Two former champions, Petr Yan and Deiveson Figueiredo, face off in a fight that could determine the next title contender at Galaxy Arena in Macau.

The UFC is hosting its first event in Macau since 2014, with the prelims starting at 3 a.m. ET and the main card at 6 a.m. ET on ESPN+.
Petr Yan, a former bantamweight champion, aims to solidify his comeback after ending a three-fight losing streak with a win over Song Yadong in March.
Deiveson Figueiredo, a former two-time flyweight champion, is undefeated at bantamweight since moving up in December 2023 and is on a three-fight winning streak.
The co-main event features China's Yan Xiaonan, ranked No. 2 in the strawweight division, against rising Brazilian prospect Tabatha Ricci, ranked No. 10.
A win for either Yan or Figueiredo could position them for a title eliminator or potential future title shot in the bantamweight division.
