Ahead of UFC Fight Night 249 (ESPN+), which takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex, women’s strawweight standouts Mackenzie Dern (15-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) and Amanda Ribas (12-6 MMA, 7-5 UFC) stepped on the scale for their rematch at the official weigh-ins.

Believe it or not, UFC's first event of each year since 2021 has been an APEX Fight Night.

More than five years after their first bout, the two strawweights will return to the Octagon determined to prove they deserve a shot at a title.
