At UFC Apex in Las Vegas, two strawweight fighters, Alice Ardelean from Romania, and Montserrat "Conejo" Ruiz from Mexico, will step into the octagon. Both aim to cement their place on the undercard of UFC Fight Night 263.
Alice Ardelean has competed in professional MMA since she was young. She won her last match against Rayanne dos Santos by unanimous decision six months ago. Her record has ten wins and faces an opponent with similar experience but more recorded losses by KO. Montserrat Ruiz, coming off a two-year hiatus from her loss to Eduarda Moura via TKO, hopes for a comeback. Given Ardelean’s current momentum and Ruiz's recent struggle after moving up in weight classes, this fight holds certain stakes.
