The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Jan. 11 kicks off its 2025 schedule with a UFC Fight Night 249 card headlined by a rematch between Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. It’s not getting much buzz, which is completely understandable. Aside from it being a barely passable headliner, it’s a rematch no one asked for.
