PETR YAN vs DEIVESON FIGUEIREDO
Bantamweight Main Event:
Petr Yan is a Russian fighter who is known for his clean striking and stamina. He has been in the UFC since 2018 and he has built up a solid record, winning 9 and losing 4 of his 13 fights. Between 2020 and 2022 he fought in 4 consecutive title fights, winning 2 and losing 2.
His most recent fight took place in March this year when he stepped in the octagon with Song Yadong at UFC 299 and won the bout by decision.
Deiveson Figueiredo, a Brazilian born fighter, is known for his all-round MMA abilities and he is talented in striking and grappling. He has been in the UFC since 2017 and he has fought a total of 17 times to date, winning 13, losing 3 and drawing 1.
For nearly 3 years of his career, he fought in only title fights, winning 4, losing 2 and drawing 1 to Brandon Moreno, who he fought in 4 title fights. His most recent encounter was in August when he clashed with Marlon Vera and won the fight by decision.

Yan 1.33
Draw 26.00
Figueiredo 3.80
PREDICTION:
I believe that both fighters have it in them to go the distance and Figueiredo who seems to be finding top form again will win by decision as the underdog.
YAN XIAONAN vs TABATHA RICCI
Women’s Strawweight Co-Main Event:
Yan Xiaonan is a Chinese fighter who has been impressive in the UFC since entering back in 2017. She possesses incredible athletic ability, and she throws effective strikes as well. She went on a 6-fight winning streak to start off her career, however lately she has not been as impressive, losing 3 of her last 5 fights.
Her most recent bout was a tough challenge against Zhang Weili when she fought her for the title. She held out until the fight came to an end but could not get the job done, losing by decision.
Tabatha Ricci, fighting out of Brazil is a relatively inexperienced but extremely talented fighter who can easily go the distance. She is also skilled in the field of grappling, and she currently sits on a career record of 6 wins and 2 losses across her 8 fights.
She most recently went head-to-head with Angela Hill a couple months ago in August, where she gained enough points on the judges’ scorecards throughout the 3 rounds to win by decision.

Xiaonan 1.53

Ricci 2.70
PREDICTION:
I believe that this fight will go to decision, as most of these two fighters bouts do, with Xiaonan winning on the judges cards.
SONG KENAN vs MUSLIM SALIKHOV
Welterweight Bout:
Song Kenan, a fighter from China, is a man who has struggled to get his career going and stay on the winning side of things. He has formed a career record of 6 wins and 4 loses in 10 bouts, with his most recent fight being against Ricky Glenn in August, where he won by unanimous decision.
Muslim Salikhov is a Russian fighter with over 7 years of experience in the UFC. He can often be seen throwing brutal blows, however most of his wins come by way of decision. He has fought 11 times professionally and he has won 7 fights, losing 4. His most recent fight took place in July when he beat Santiago Ponzinibbio by decision.
