In the co-main fight, a clash that means a lot for the strawweight division (up to 52,1kg.). First champion in the group's history, Carla esparza wants a big victory to earn the right to challenge the champion, Rose namajunas. To do this, the veteran will need to overcome the dangerous and promising yan xiaonan, who doesn't know what it's like to lose in the company.

The Brazilian public will have plenty of reasons to check out the show. At UFC Vegas 27, five athletes will take the green and yellow to the octagon and try to put on a show for the fiery Tupiniquim fans.

Garbrandt x Font

Considered one of the biggest names in the category's recent history, Garbrandt wants to prove that the bad moment he experienced in his recent history is behind him. The North American is coming off a great victory over Raphael Assunção, which ended a streak of three consecutive losses for the athlete in the company.

To win, Cody will need to stop a fighter who has been putting on a show in the octagon. Current number three in the rankings, Font hasn't known what it's like to lose since July 2018, when he was surpassed by Raphael, the last victim of his current opponent.

The winner of the main fight, if he does not get the chance to fight for the title, will place himself in an even more prominent position in the group, which, today, has aljamain sterling as champion.

More Brazil

On the main card, Norm Dumont moved up to featherweight (up to 65,7kg.) after repeated failures in the weight cut. For the commitment in the division, Minas Gerais will exchange forces against Felicia spencer, heavily defeated by Amanda nunes in the group title dispute. Even though she is willing to return to bantamweight (up to 61,2kg) in the future, the Brazilian wants to reach her second victory in the UFC, in three appearances.

Trying to recover from the defeat in his last appointment, Ricardo Carcacinha returns to the octagon to try to resume his path towards the top of the featherweight division. This weekend, the São Paulo native will play the long-awaited clash against Bell Algeo. The fight was supposed to take place in April, but ended up being canceled after the Brazilian fighter tested positive for Covid-19.

Living a great moment, after having his first positive result for the first time in Ultimate, Bruno Bulldoguinho wants to put on a new show. Executioner of J.P. Buys, the São Paulo native will exchange forces with Victor Rodriguez, who is trying to score his first goal in the organization. In an interview with SUPER LUTAS, the Brazilian promised a new knockout for the company.

After losing his first with UFC gloves, Claudius Hannibal seeks a recovery duel. In Ultimate since 2014, the Mato Grosso native will face the veteran Court mcgee and will try to erase the setback suffered by James Krause in 2020. This will be the first clash between both teams in the current season.

After failing to make the weight cut and being removed from the fight that would mark his debut in the company, Rafael Alves moved up a division and wants to show what he came for. Now in the lightweight division (up to 70,3kg.) the Brazilian who was revealed by the 'Contender Series' wants to extend his good form in the duel against the dangerous Damir Ismagulov. While the Pará native boasts a streak of five consecutive victories, the Russian promise doesn't know what it's like to lose in 17 matches.
