Just once, you won’t have to get up in the middle of the night this Saturday to follow the UFC fights. Relocated to Macau, China, this weekend’s UFC Fight Night will begin at 9 a.m. French time. A godsend for enthusiasts, who will be able to quietly follow rather enticing fights.
Three duels, all on the main card, starting at 12 p.m., are particularly promising. The first pits the Swiss Volkan Oezdemir against the New Zealander Carlos Ulberg. The first, who trains regularly in France and notably participated in UFC Paris 2, in September 2023, continues his rise to the heights of light heavyweight, after failing in the title fight in January 2018. Eighth in the category, he is the clear favorite this Saturday.
The Chinese Yan Xiaonan, at home, is also. Second in the strawweight category, she challenges the Brazilian Tabatha Ricci, 10th. The two fighters will face each other in the co-main event, at the end of the gala. The main fight will pit the Russian Petr Yan, former bantamweight champion, against the Brazilian Deiveson Figueiredo, former flyweight champion, who moved up the category last December.
The fights will be followed this Saturday, November 23 on the RMC Sport Twitch channel from 11:30 a.m. They will then be rebroadcast on RMC Sport 3 at 8:30 p.m., legal time in France for on-demand media.
