UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Yan will be live from UFC APEX in Las Vegas this Saturday, Oct. 1, exclusively on ESPN+ (English and Spanish), with the main card at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, preceded by the Prelims at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT. Live coverage begins Friday with UFC Live presented by DraftKings Sportsbook: Dern vs. Yan at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN2, providing fans with exclusive insights and views heading into Fight Night.
The main event features a thrilling clash of strawweight contenders as No. 5 ranked Mackenzie Dern (12-2) squares off against No. 6 Yan Xiaonan (15-3). Dern arrives at the UFC APEX with five victories in her last six bouts, showing continual improvements in her striking and conditioning to stake her claim for a title shot. Yan will look to take out Dern and recover from her last two fights as she looks to move up the 115-pound rankings.
The co-main is a welterweight bout between Randy Brown (15-4) and UFC veteran Francisco Trinaldo (28-8). Brown looks to continue his winning streak by finishing Trinaldo while the Brazilian aims to stop Brown’s momentum with an impressive performance.
Jon Anik will call the action, joined by Paul Felder and two-time UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz. Megan Olivi will handle reporting duties. Victor Davilla, Marlon Chito Vera and Santiago Ponzinibbio will provide all coverage in Spanish.
