The UFC returns to Macau, China, for the first time in a decade with a stacked card headlined by a pair of former champions and an unusual start time (for the U.S. audience).

MMA KO Exclusive Interview w/ UFC Flyweight Charles Johnson

Yan vs. Figueiredo At Galaxy Arena

The main event sees Petr Yan (17-5 MMA) take on Deiveson Figueiredo (24-3-1 MMA) in a bantamweight five-rounder.

Stylistically, both men match up well and have similar skill sets. Yan has finished 41 percent of his fights by KO/TKO, while Figueiredo has an identical amount of finishes by KO/TKO and submissions at 38 percent.

Yan told Sports Illustrated he is seeking a title shot with a win.

“Merab said himself that Figueiredo is a true No. 1 contender who’s supposed to fight for the belt, so if I beat him, what does that make me? I believe that makes me the No. 1 contender for the belt," Yan said.

Yan is coming off a UFC 299 decision-win against Song Yadong, snapping a three-fight losing skid.

Meanwhile, Figueiredo is on a three-fight winning streak. His last fight saw him beat former title challenger Marlon Vera in August, winning a decision.

The 13-fight card features a plethora of international talent. The prelims begin at 3 a.m. ET/midnight PT, with the main card starting at 6 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT.

The card can be seen in its entirety on ESPN+.
