A clash of rising strawweight prospects will commence on the prelims of UFC Vegas 88 as 24-year-old Cory McKenna and 28-year-old Jaqueline Amorim will fight for a potential spot in the divisional rankings.
Though four years younger than her upcoming opponent, McKenna (8-2) has more UFC experience and enters the March 16 bout with a 3-1 octagon record. McKenna will look to extend her win streak to three, a stretch that includes her history-making submission of Miranda Granger at UFC Vegas 59 by becoming the first woman to win with a Von Flue choke in the UFC.
