There are two bouts scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs Murphy with at least one ranked fighter.
Order UFC 302: Makhachev vs Poirier
In the strawweight division, No. 9 Luana Pinheiro faces No. 12 Angela Hill. Pinheiro, coming off a TKO loss against Amanda Ribas, aims to bounce back in her fifth UFC outing. At the same time, Hill seeks to continue her momentum after a unanimous decision win over Denise Gomes last November.
Saturday's main event features No. 12 featherweight Edson Barboza against No. 14 Lerone Murphy. Barboza seeks to build on his recent unanimous decision victory over Sodiq Yusuff. Opposite him, Murphy looks to extend his five-fight win streak. This fight will be very telling to see if Barboza, the featherweight staple, can get the victory or if Murphy can continue his rise.
