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.

Death, taxes and the UFC force-feeding us rematches no one asked for. But in all seriousness, it’s nice to have the world leader back in action and this rematch between Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas should hold some weight to the rankings in this division.
