What are the other UFC fights left in the event?
The early preliminary card is topped by Ariane da Silva vs. Wang Cong. The matchup was initially scheduled to take place in the women's flyweight division. Unfortunately, da Silva failed to make weight and hit the scale at 132 pounds, which is six pounds over the division's non-title limit.
Thus, the fight will now proceed at catchweight, with da Silva forfeiting 30% of her purse to Wang. Below them, Jeka Saragih faces Yoo Joo-sang at featherweight, while Quillan Salkilld takes on Yanal Ashmouz in the lightweight division, as does MarQuel Mederos faces Mark Choinski.
