Everything you need to know for Felice Herrig vs. Virna Jandiroba at UFC 252

UFC is back for its latest PPV, with UFC 252 set to get going Saturday, August 15th at 7 p.m. The company is back from its cards at Fight Island in Abu Dhabi, and this marks the first PPV since returning. The card features a heavyweight title main event, and opens at 7 p.m. with the early preliminary card. The PPV will air on ESPN+.

The penultimate fight of the preliminary card is a women’s strawweight bout. 15th ranked Felice Herrig faces off against Virna Jandiroba. Like a good chunk of this card, this is serving as a bit of a gate-leeper fight. Fight week opened with Jandiroba installed as a sizable -315 favorite and the line has not moved heading into fight day.

Herrig is 14-8 for her career, with five wins by stoppage. She has not fought since October 2018 and has lost her last two fights. They include a unanimous decision loss to Michelle Waterson at UFC 229 and a split decision loss to Karolina Kowalkiewicz at UFC 223. Herrig was set to fight in June 2019, but tore her ACL.

Jandiroba is 15-1 with 12 wins coming by way of submission. She is 1-1 in her brief UFC career, winning by rear-naked choke over Mallory Martin at UFC on ESPN 7 last December, and losing by unanimous decision to Carla Esparza at UFC Fight Night 150 the prior April. This marks her first UFC PPV
