October is going to be a big month for the UFC. Two massive fights for that month got revealed earlier today.<\/p>\n

Brett Okamoto<\/a> of ESPN MMA broke the news earlier today that there will be a strawweight main event in October. On October first, fans will be treated to five rounds of Mackenzie Dern and Yan Xiaonan. The bout is an important one in the 115-pound division.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian is fresh off a victory over Tecia Torres at UFC 273 in April. Prior to the announcement of her fight against Yan Xiaonan, she was hoping<\/a> for an interim title fight with Weili Zhang. While she won’t get her title fight, she’ll get a big matchup later this year.<\/p>\n

Yan Xiaonan, on other hand, is riding a two-fight losing streak. In her last two outings, she’s lost to Carla Esparza and Marina Rodriguez. Prior to her current skid, she was riding a 13-fight unbeaten streak.<\/p>\n

However, the headliner between Mackenzie Dern and Yan Xiaonan isn’t the only fight on tap for October. First broken by Full Violence<\/a> on Twitter, welterweights Belal Muhammad and Sean Brady are set for UFC 281. The card will take place on October 22nd at the Etihad Arena.<\/p>\n

‘Remember The Name’ is currently riding an eight-fight unbeaten streak. Muhammad’s most recent victory saw him defeat Vicente Luque via unanimous decision in April. Prior to the booking with Brady, he was angling<\/a> for a fight with Khamzat Chimaev.<\/p>\n

Instead of ‘The Wolf’, Belal Muhammad will face Sean Brady. The Philadelphia-native is sitting at a perfect 15-0 professional record to this point in his career. His most recent outing was a unanimous decision victory over Michael Chiesa in November 2021.<\/p>\n

Are you excited about these matchups later this year? Sound off in the comment section below!<\/p>\n
