VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – A new flyweight champion will be crowned Saturday when the UFC returns to Virginia for the fifth time in company history.

UFC on ESPN+ 27 takes place at Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Va. The entire card streams on ESPN+.

In the main event, either Joseph Benavidez (28-5 MMA, 15-3 UFC) or Deiveson Figueiredo (17-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) will claim the 125-pound belt relinquished by Henry Cejudo late last year and become just the third fighter in company history to hold that belt, joining Cejudo and Demetrious Johnson.

Elsewhere on the card, the future of the women’s featherweight division will be sorted with Felicia Spencer (7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) vs. Zarah Fairn (6-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and Megan Anderson (10-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) vs. Norma Dumont (4-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) likely fighting to determine who will next challenge divisional queen Amanda Nunes.
