Dern and Ribas Headline UFC Fight Night 2025

UFC Fight Night: Dern vs Ribas 2 is set to kick off the 2025 UFC calendar on January 11 at The Apex in Las Vegas. This event will be headlined by a highly anticipated strawweight bout between contenders Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas. Both fighters are looking to make a significant impact in the division, and their matchup promises to be an exciting clash of styles.

However, the event has encountered some challenges, with two fights being canceled. Yanal Ashmouz was scheduled to face Nurullo Aliev in a lightweight bout, but Ashmouz has withdrawn, leading to the cancellation of the fight. Similarly, Andreas Gustafsson's welterweight clash against Preston Parsons has also been called off due to Gustafsson's withdrawal.

Fortunately, the UFC has managed to secure replacements for both fighters. Joe Solecki, a notable alumnus of Dana White's Contender Series, will step in to take Ashmouz's place. Additionally, undefeated American Jacobe Smith will replace Gustafsson in the welterweight matchup.

Despite these setbacks, the card remains robust with 14 fights currently scheduled. As the UFC prepares to return from its festive break, fans are eager to see how the event unfolds and what performances will emerge from the fighters on the card.
