For the sixth time in UFC history, the promotion is back in Sacramento with UFC on ESPN+ 13 and a women’s bantamweight headliner that just might produce the next challenger to champion Amanda Nunes, as well as the return of a UFC Hall of Famer.
In the main event, former women’s featherweight champ Germaine de Randamie will take on Aspen Ladd at 135 pounds, with the winner potentially being next in line for a title shot. And in the co-main event, Urijah Faber comes out of retirement to compete in his hometown, as he will take on Ricky Simon.
