Straweight title contenders Mackenzie Dern and Marina Rodriguez headline another stacked UFC fight night card in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Dern (11-1) who is currently No.6 in the straweight rankings, comes into the Octagon on a four fight winning streak, her most recent triumph being a first round submission win against Nina Nunes in April.
The number four ranked Rodriguez's (14-1-2) last fight was in May where she beat Michelle Waterson by unaminous decision and is now on a two fight winning streak.
With women's straweight champion Rose Namajunas and Zhang Weili set to meet in early November, Dern vs. Rodriguez could have major title implications where the winner could land themselves a title shot.
