SAN DIEGO – Yazmin Jauregui may be young, and early in her MMA career, but she’s not lacking in confidence.
Jauregui (8-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC), a 23-year-old from Mexico and recent Combate Global tournament winner, will make her promotional debut in a women’s strawweight bout against Iasmin Lucindo (13-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) on Saturday at UFC on ESPN 41.
And though both fighters are making their UFC debuts, they’ve been placed in a prominent spot on the main card in a featured bout before the co-main and main events. Lucindo, from Brazil, is just 20, so it’s fairly clear the UFC sees the fight as one between two potential future stars in the division.
