UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Ribas 2 (also known as UFC Fight Night 249, UFC Vegas 101 and UFC on ESPN+ 107) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship taking place on January 11, 2025, at the UFC Apex in Enterprise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Valley, United States.[2]

Background

A women's strawweight rematch between Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas headlined this event.[3] They were originally scheduled to compete at UFC on ESPN: Covington vs. Buckley on December 14, 2024 but the bout was moved to this event in order to serve as the main event.[4] The duo previously met at UFC Fight Night: Joanna vs. Waterson in October 2019, where Ribas won by unanimous decision.[5]

A women's bantamweight bout between former UFC Women's Featherweight Champion Germaine de Randamie and former LFA Women's Bantamweight Champion Jacqueline Cavalcanti was reportedly scheduled for this event.[6] However, de Randamie announced her retirement and the bout was scrapped.[7][8]

A welterweight bout between Preston Parsons and Andreas Gustafsson was scheduled for the event.[9] However, Gustafsson withdrew from the fight for unknown reasons and was replaced by Jacobe Smith.[10]

In addition, Nurullo Aliev and Yanal Ashmouz were scheduled to meet in a lightweight bout. However, Ashmouz withdrew for unknown reasons and was replaced by Joe Solecki.[11]

At the weigh-ins, Jose Johnson and Ihor Potieria missed weight. Johnson weighed in at 128.5 pounds, two and a half pounds over the flyweight non-title fight limit. Potieria weighed in at 188 pounds, two pounds over the middleweight non-title fight limit. Both bouts proceeded at catchweight, with Johnson forfeiting 20% of his purse and Potieria forfeiting 25% of his purse, which went to their opponents former LFA Flyweight Champion Felipe Bunes and Marco Tulio, respectively.[12]
