Despite going on MacKenzie Dern’s highlight reel just two months ago, Randa Markos will be back in the saddle again this November 14, 2020, at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Markos (10-9-1), will be stepping in on short notice to replace former Invicta FC strawweight champion Livinha Souza to face off against another former Invicta FC strawweight champion, Kanako Murata.

Markos is yet again in against another quality grappler. Murata isn’t the submission expert that Dern is, but she’s medaled in freestyle wrestling at the junior level. She has elite grappling chops. Don’t believe me?

Still don’t?

You probably did to begin with, but the more gifs the better. Markos has been criticized for her decision-making in fights, but she remains a solid gatekeeper, and probably hopes this bout answers a lot of questions about her future in the UFC.

Lightweight Islam Makhachev vs. Rafael dos Anjos

Welterweight Abdul Razak Alhassan vs. Khaos Williams
