Fighter staredowns will commence immediately following today’s ceremonial weigh ins.

UFC Long Island will be headlined by two-time 145-pound title challenger Brian Ortega, who risks his No. 2 spot in the division Top 5 when he collides with No. 3-ranked featherweight striker Yair Rodriguez. In the three-round co-main event, longtime strawweight veteran Michelle Waterson looks to outlast Brazilian bruiser Amanda Lemos. In addition, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate makes her flyweight debut opposite former 125-pound title challenger Lauren Murphy on the UFC Long Island main card.
