UFC Fight Night: Petr Yan vs. Deiveson Figueiredo took place in the early hours of Saturday morning, and MMA News has you covered with all the action!
After a pay-per-view inside the prestigious Madison Square Garden — and before focus turns to the UFC's final numbered event of the year in Las Vegas — the MMA leader was on the road to stage a card in Macau for the first time in a decade.
Headlining at the Galaxy Arena were two former champions in ex-bantamweight kingpin Yan and a two-time occupier of the flyweight throne in Figueiredo. With both men coming off wins over top-10 opposition, a shot at Merab Dvalishvili's 135-pound gold was discussed as being in store for Saturday's victor.
That turned out to be Yan, with "No Mercy" putting in a vintage striking performance to sweep the scorecards.
Elsewhere on the UFC Fight Night lineup, Yan Xiaonan emerged victorious from her first outing since falling short of the title against Zhang Weili earlier this year, Carlos Ulberg got the better of fellow hard-hitting light heavyweight contender Volkan Oezdemir, and the Road to UFC finals delivered some memorable moments on the prelims.
With that said, see below for the full results, followed by all the best highlights.
