STRAWWEIGHT CONTENDERS COLLIDE! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns home to UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sat., May 20, 2023, with No. 7-ranked women’s Strawweight contender, Mackenzie Dern, testing her high-powered submission skills against No. 13-seeded Angela Hill. In UFC Vegas 73’s ESPN+-streamed co-main event, Anthony Hernandez will lock horns with Edmen Shahbazyan in a showdown between talented Middleweight up-and-comers.
Volkov (34-9) has proven to be a tough out over the last few years; however, his inconsistency at heavyweight has prevented “Drago” from reaching the promised land. As for Aspinall (11-2), he’s the winner of seven straight and finished all four opponents he’s faced inside the Octagon. No question Volkov will be his stiffest (and tallest) test to date but Aspinall will have the hometown crowd on his side.
Will it be enough? We’ll find out later today!
