UFC Fight Night: Yan vs. Figueiredo (also known as UFC Fight Night 248 and UFC on ESPN+ 106 as well as UFC Macau) is an upcoming UFC even that will take place on November 23, 2024, at the Galaxy Arena in Macau, SAR, China.
The event will mark the promotion's fourth visit to Macau and first since UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Le in August 2014.
A bantamweight bout between former UFC Bantamweight Champion Petr Yan and former two-time UFC Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueiredo is expected to headline the event.
The four finals of the Road to UFC Season 3 are expected to take place at this event.
BetOnline has released odds for UFC Macau.
A victory by Petr Yan as the -300 favorite versus Deiveson Figueiredo would likely result in him leapfrogging over Umar Nurmagomedov as the next title challenger at 135lbs.
“Deiveson is a former champ, and also Merab has been saying that he’s the only real deserving challenger for his belt,” Yan said through an interpreter. “So for me, it’s a good opportunity for me to get this position, to beat him and challenge for the belt instead of him.
“I believe this is a No. 1 contender’s fight,” Yan continued. “Merab is currently champ, but I believe that he’s not ready to defend his title just yet, especially against Umar. It seems like he is avoiding him. Also, Umar, I believe he maybe needs a couple of good wins too. So, with a win over Deiveson, I believe that I can get back into the title picture and challenge for the belt again.”
