This weekend’s UFC Fight Night will be headlined by a clash between women’s strawweight contenders.

Marina Rodriguez puts her No 3 ranking on the line as she takes on seventh-ranked Amanda Lemos, with the winner of the fight potentially next in line for a title shot.

Next week, Carla Esparza defends the gold against former champion Zhang Weili, and the victor of this Saturday’s main event will be watching that title bout closely.

But will it be American Rodriguez (16-1-2) or Brazil’s Lemos (12-2-1)? Rodriguez enters the UFC’s Apex institute this weekend on the back of four straight wins, while Lemos has won six of her last seven contests.

Here’s all you need to know.

When is it?

This weekend’s UFC Fight Night will take place on Saturday 5 November.

The prelims will start at 8pm GMT (1pm PT, 3pm CT, 4pm ET), with the main card following at 11pm GMT (4pm PT, 6pm CT, 7pm ET).

How can I watch it?

The card will air live on BT Sport in the UK, with the broadcaster’s app and website also streaming the fights.
