The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s first show of 2025 has arrived, and the promotion eases into the New Year with its latest outing from the UFC Apex on Saturday in Las Vegas. The UFC Vegas 101 main event is a rematch half a decade in the making, as Amanda Ribas looks to recreate her breakout win from 2019 against Mackenzie Dern and re-establish herself as a women’s strawweight contender in the process. Beyond the headliner, there are some potentially entertaining bouts that feature veteran talent like Santiago Ponzinibbio and Abdul Razak Alhassan, along with a well-matched battle between Chris Curtis and Roman Kopylov.
