UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Rodriguez Fight Card

Another cracking UFC card awaits us this weekend with several mouth-watering fights in store. It may not always seem like it, but UFC Fight Night events have a lot riding on them. These fighters are usually on the periphery of greatness, and wins in these events can go a long way in making or breaking their careers. Title shots can be won, UFC contracts can be signed, and young fighters can announce themselves to the world in these Fight Nights. So if you are a UFC fan, make sure to tune in.

The main event of this weekend's UFC Fight Night will see Marina Rodriguez and Mackenzie Dern face off in the Women's Strawweight division. This has all the makings of an exciting class encounter between two fighters looking to get in title contention. Dern is currently on a four-fight winning street and has earned three Performance of the Night bonuses. These performances have seen her become one of the most in-form fighters in the UFC roster. On Saturday, she faces arguably her toughest test yet against Marine Rodriguez, who has won each of her last two fights. These two are very talented fighters with different styles, and that could make this match-up an instant classic.

In the co-main event, we will see Randy Brown and Jared Gooden lock horns in the Welterweight division. Gooden has looked solid in his fledgling UFC career so far and appears to be a solid prospect who could go a long way. He goes up against Brown, who has gone 3-1 over his last four fights. Brown is looking to climb up the rankings, and a win on Saturday will go a long way in helping him do that. Both these fighters have what it takes to steal the show. And this could be another Fight of the Night contender.

Before the co-main event, we will see another potential show-stealer as Tim Elliott squares off against Matheus Nicolau. The two fighters are hovering in and around the top ten of the rankings. And this fight could well end up being crucial in both their hopes of climbing up the rankings and getting that elusive title shot in the Flyweight division.

Another flyweight bout, this time in the women's division, will see Mariya Agapova and Sabina Mazo face off. Both women have identical records, so this fight will be a must-win for their hopes of getting up the rankings. Mazo is dropping back down to the Flyweight division after moving up to the bantamweight division earlier this year. They have each shown flashes of the impressive talent they possess in their recent fights. And it will be interesting to see who comes out on top come Saturday night.

Starting us off in the main card will be Bantamweight fighters Chris Gutierrez and Felipe Colares. The former has put together a great run of late, winning four of his last five fights. While the latter has a 2-2 UFC record and is still getting started as far as his time inside the Octagon is concerned. With both fighters looking to make a name for themselves in the stacked bantamweight division, this fight could be very lively and aggressive.

In addition to the main card, the UFC Fight Night will also feature several exciting fights in the Prelims card. So be sure not to miss them either. Below we have the full fight card for UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Rodriguez.
