UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Rodriguez (also known as UFC Fight Night 194, UFC Vegas 39 and UFC on ESPN+ 52) was a

Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States.[2]

Background

A women's strawweight bout between Marina Rodriguez and Mackenzie Dern headlined the event.[3]

A middleweight bout between Phil Hawes and Deron Winn was expected to take place at the event.[4] The pairing was initially scheduled to meet on July 17 at UFC on ESPN: Makhachev vs. Moisés, but Winn pulled out of that event citing a chest injury.[5] In turn, Winn withdrew the day before the event due to health issues.[6] He was briefly replaced by Chris Curtis, but Hawes declined the bout and it was ultimately scrapped.[7]

Michael Trizano and Chas Skelly were scheduled to meet in a featherweight bout at the event.[8] However, Skelly was removed from the bout two weeks before the event due to undisclosed reasons.[9] As a result, the bout was canceled.

A middleweight bout between Jamie Pickett and Laureano Staropoli was originally scheduled for this event.[10] However, the bout was moved to UFC Fight Night: Costa vs. Vettori after one of Pickett's coaches tested positive for COVID-19.[11]

Lupita Godinez in a women's strawweight bout at this event.[12] However, Hughes was pulled from the bout after testing positive for COVID-19 and was replaced by promotional newcomer Silvana Gómez Juárez.[13]

At the weigh-ins, Jared Gooden weighed in at 174 pounds, three pounds over the welterweight non-title fight limit. His bout proceeded at a catchweight and he forfeited 20% of his purse to his opponent Randy Brown.[14]
