This Saturday (20), Ultimate returns to its headquarters, the 'Apex', for the UFC Las Vegas 73, with the duel between the Brazilian Mackenzie dern and the North American Angela Hill, valid for strawweight (up to 52,1kg), as the main attraction. Before entering the octagon, however, the 26 athletes scheduled for the card must pass the scale challenge at the official weigh-in, which takes place this Friday afternoon (19), starting at 13 pm.
Jiu-jitsu legend and currently ranked seventh in the strawweight rankings, Mackenzie dern seeks to recover from the defeat suffered by yan xiaonan to get closer to the division's elite again. To do this, the Brazilian will have to overcome the very veteran Angela Hill, who, after going through a terrible phase in the octagon, recovered and is coming off two consecutive victories.
