UFC Fight Schedule for the upcoming Fight Night:

The UFC Fight Night this weekend would be headlined by women’s flyweight contenders. We have the very dangerous Jessica Andrade facing Erin Blanchfield. Andrade is a former champion who is currently ranked at number 3. She is set to face new and upcoming Blanchfield. Andrade currently has a record of 24 wins and 9 losses.

In the co-main event, we have the Light Heavyweight Banger for us. Jordan Wright will face Zac Pauga. Jordan Wright is moving up a weight class as he used to compete at middleweight. Pauga, on the other hand, is moving from Heavyweight to 205 Pounds.

All the fights seem exciting on this card as we have Jim Miller vs Alexander Hernandez, who seems to be a favorite going into the fight. Miller has been around for a very long time, and Hernandez is a young fighter. This could be a fan-favorite fight and definitely the one to open the main card.

The fans also get one more exciting fight at light heavyweight, William Knight faces Poland’s own Marcin Prachnio. Josh Parisian will face Jamal Pogues in the heavyweight division of the UFC.

The Prelims:

Before all these exciting fights, the prelims will take place, and they look fun too. Nazim Sadykhov will be facing Evan Elder in the lightweight division. Women’s bantamweight will have Lina Lansberg vs Mayra Bueno Silva face each other.

The rest of the fight that we have is Jamall Emmers vs Khusein Askhabov at featherweight. AJ Fletcher vs Themba Gorimbo and Clyaton Carpenter will face Juancamilo Ronderous.
