The UFC returns to the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, NV, today (April 25) for a UFC Fight Night card headlined by a massive featherweight clash.

The main event will see former UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling try to move closer towards a featherweight title shot when he takes on Youssef Zalal, who has won five-straight fights since rejoining the UFC in 2024.

The night’s co-main event also has serious title implications, as women’s bantamweight contenders Norma Dumont and Joselyne Edwards will square off and try to extend their respective win streaks.
