Watch the highlights of some of the fighters competing at the event:
Devin Clark
Devin Clark (12-6) will enter the octagon at UFC Fight Night on the heels of two consecutive defeats. His most recent UFC outing last September saw him drop a unanimous decision against Ion Cutelaba.
William Knight
William Knight (11-3) last competed in the UFC just two months ago, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss against Maxim Grishin. After the loss, his record in the promotion stands at 3-2.
Lina Lansberg
Lina Lansberg (10-5) has been away from the octagon for more than two years now. 'Elbow Queen' last competed in the UFC in January 2020 when she suffered a unanimous decision loss against Sara McMann.
Pannie Kianzad
Pannie Kianzad (15-6) was on a four-fight win streak before suffering a unanimous decision loss to Raquel Pennington last September. The upcoming UFC Fight Night event is an opportunity she needs to get back in the win column and climb to the top.
Drakkar Klose
After scoring three consecutive unanimous decision wins, Drakkar Klose (11-2) was put to sleep with a massive left hand in his last UFC bout against Beneil Dariush. At Saturday's UFC Fight Night event, Klose will be making his first octagon appearance in over two years.
Brandon Jenkins
Much like his opponent, Brandon Jenkins (15-8) was also riding a three-fight win streak before getting stopped in his latest octagon appearance, which was his UFC debut. 'The Human Highlight Reel' now has the opportunity to live up to his moniker and record an impressive first win under the UFC banner when he takes on Klose.
Rafa Garcia
Rafa Garcia (12-2) made his UFC debut last March and began his promotional journey by dropping a pair of decisions. The 27-year-old bounced back from those losses by defeating Natan Levy via unanimous decision to improve his UFC record to 1-2. At this weekend's Fight Night, 'Gifted' will take on a fighter who is yet to have any success in the UFC.
Jesse Ronson
Jesse Ronson (21-10) has had one of the unluckiest runs with the promotion. 'The Body Snatcher' first made his UFC debut back in 2013 only to lose three consecutive split-decisions. The 36-year-old made his way back into the UFC in July 2020 to record a submission win over Nicolas Dalby, which was overturned to a no-contest due to a failed drug test. Ronson will now make his first UFC appearance in nearly two years.
Chris Barnett
After an unsuccessful debut, Chris Barnett (22-7) made a strong comeback by scoring a second-round TKO over Gian Villante in his second and most recent outing. 'Huggy Bear' is determined to record his second straight win against a streaking Martin Buday.
Martin Buday
Martin Buday (9-1) is coming off an impressive first-round TKO win over Lorenzo Hood in the Dana White's Contender Series. At this weekend's UFC Fight Night event, 'Badys' will make his promotional debut and will look to extend his unbeaten run to nine wins.
Trey Ogden
Trey Ogden (15-4) is set to make his promotional debut at the upcoming UFC Fight Night event on the back of four submission wins. His most recent win came over JJ Okanovich in Fury FC, where he dispatched his opponent via arm-triangle choke. He will now hope to carry that momentum into his upcoming bout against Jordon Leavitt this weekend.
Jordan Leavitt
A product of the Dana White's Contender Series, Jordan Leavitt (9-1) suffered his only loss when he went up against Claudio Puelles in his second UFC appearance last June. He quickly bounced back from that defeat by scoring a submission win over Matt Sayles in December. 'The Monkey King' now has the opportunity to get back on a win streak when he takes on Trey Ogden at UFC Fight Night.
Sam Hughes
Sam Hughes (5-4) will enter UFC Fight Night this Saturday looking to snap a three-fight skid and earn her first win under the UFC banner. 'Sampage' last competed against Luana Pinheiro in November 2021 and lost via unanimous decision.
Istela Nunes
Istela Nunes (6-2) will also be looking to secure her first win with the promotion after coming up short in her first UFC bout. The 29-year-old lost her promotional debut against Ariane Carnelossi via rear-naked choke last October.
Heili Alateng
Heili Alateng (14-8) was last seen in action against Gustavo Lopez last September, a fight that ended in a draw. 'The Mongolian Knight' now has the chance to record his first victory since 2019.
Kevin Croom
Kevin Croom (21-14), who is fresh off a loss to Brian Kelleher in January, will be desperately looking to get his hand raised at UFC Fight Night this Saturday. 'Crash' won his UFC debut against Roosevelt Roberts in September 2020, but the decision was overturned due to Croom's marijuana use. Since then, he has competed in two UFC bouts, both of which he lost via unanimous decision.
