The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday returns with UFC Fight Night 211 in Las Vegas—a typical Apex card that is low on star power but high on action potential. Women’s strawweight contenders Mackenzie Dern and Xiaonan Yan look for their biggest wins to date in a well-matched main event, while the co-headliner sees Randy Brown seek out a long-awaited breakthrough against Francisco Trinaldo. Beyond that, it is all about possible violence at 155 pounds and below, with four fights that match varying levels of aggression. The highlights include ranked featherweight Sodiq Yusuff, albeit against a newcomer in Don Shainis, and the long-overdue returns of lightweight prospect Mike Davis against the striking-happy Viacheslav Borshchev.
