UFC Fight Night – A Thrilling Rematch Between Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas
Tonight, UFC Fight Night kicks off the new year in style, featuring an electrifying main event between Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas. These two top strawweights return to the Octagon at UFC Vegas 101, rekindling their rivalry after their first encounter in 2019, where Ribas secured a unanimous decision victory. This highly anticipated rematch has fans buzzing as both fighters aim to cement their positions in the competitive strawweight division.
Mackenzie Dern, ranked No. 7, enters this fight with a lot to prove. Known for her exceptional grappling skills and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu pedigree, Dern has displayed moments of brilliance throughout her career but has struggled to maintain consistency, dropping three of her last five fights. A victory tonight could not only avenge her previous loss to Ribas but also reaffirm her status as a title contender.

On the other hand, Amanda Ribas, ranked No. 14, is equally eager to secure a statement win. Like Dern, Ribas has experienced mixed results recently, with three losses in her last five outings. Ribas is a well-rounded fighter with strong striking and grappling, making her a formidable opponent for anyone in the division. A repeat victory over Dern would be a significant boost to her career, proving that her initial win was no fluke and that she belongs among the elite at 115 pounds.
The co-main event adds to the excitement, featuring welterweights Santiago Ponzinibbio and Carlston Harris. Ponzinibbio, a seasoned veteran, hopes to turn the tide after recent struggles, while Harris looks to make a statement with a win over an established name.
With a stacked card that includes Abdul Razak Alhassan vs. Cesar Almeida and Chris Curtis vs. Roman Kopylov, UFC Fight Night promises action from start to finish. Whether you're tuning in to watch the prelims or the main event, this is a night of MMA you won’t want to miss. Buckle up, fight fans—it’s going to be a thrilling ride!
