One half of the UFC Vegas 61 main event, Dern has earned a slew of impressive submissions during her career, though her win over Randa Markos might’ve been the most impressive.
Dern quickly got the fight to the ground before smothering Markos in a nasty armbar with her elite Jiu-Jitsu. She forced Markos to tap for her fourth win over her first four UFC fights.
Dern will fight in her second career UFC main event against Xiaonan and will look to continue her momentum after a split decision win over Tecia Torres.

Zuffa LLC
Viacheslav Borshchev made the most of his UFC debut against Dakota Bush in January with a wild knockout.
Borshchev earned a contract from the UFC in a win over Chris Duncan on last year’s Dana White’s Contender Series season. His first fight in the Octagon against Bush ended with a nasty liver shot.

Oleinik will make his return to the Octagon against Ilir Latifi.
Trevin Jones Vs. Mario Bautista (2021)
