After taking a week off, the UFC will return to their Apex Facility for UFC Vegas 61 this Saturday.
UFC Vegas 61 will feature the main event in the strawweight division between Mackenzie Dern and Xiaonan Yan. Both fighters want to make a statement to join the conversation as potential title challengers.
Dern is looking to gain another win this year as she makes her case for fighting for the UFC Strawweight Championship. She earned a victory on Apr. 9 at UFC 273 by defeating Tecia Torres via split decision.

Ranked fifth in the division, Dern is in an excellent position to be considered a title contender. A potential win over Yan may not grant her an immediate opportunity to fight for the strawweight championship. However, a win could make the UFC put her in a number one contender fight to determine who is the next title challenger.
Yan is hoping to end her two-fight losing streak this Saturday against Dern. Her last loss was against Marina Rodriguez by split decision at UFC 272 on Mar. 5.
Although Yan is on a losing streak, she is still ranked sixth in the strawweight division. A win over Dern could move her up to fifth in the rankings and potentially lead to a rematch with Rodriguez.
The co-main event of UFC Vegas 61 will also have Randy Brown challenge Francisco Trinaldo. Both welterweights are on a winning streak and are looking to get the opportunity to fight a ranked opponent.
