For the first time in over a decade, the Octagon travels to China for UFC action as UFC On ESPN+ 106 takes place at the Galaxy Arena in Macau. The main event is one of the best match-ups of the year, and a pivotal bout in the bantamweight division, as former UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan takes on former UFC Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueiredo. Yan is looking for his second straight win, while Figueiredo is looking to stay perfect at 135 pounds after winning his first three fights in the division. The winner could be in line for a title shot. In the co-main event, former title challenger Yan Xiaonan looks to get back into the win column as she takes on Tabatha Ricci, winner of two straight bouts. Also on the main card is a welterweight bout between Song Kenan and Muslim Salikhov; as well as a pair of light heavyweight bouts as Volkan Oezdemir takes on Carlos Ulberg in a battle of top-ten ranked fighters; and Zhang Mingyang fights the debuting Ozzy Diaz.
