CBS Sports will be with you the entire way on Saturday, bringing you all the results and highlights from the UFC Fight Night below. The main card begins at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN and ESPN+ following preliminary bouts at 8 p.m. ET.
Namajunas lost a points decision to Erin Blanchfield in her last outing in November, describing it as hitting a "speed bump" and has also been beaten by title contender Manon Fiorot. The Milwaukee native, who is 13-7 overall in her MMA career, says her goal is to earn a title shot.
