Yan Xiaonan returns to the Octagon after a 16-month layoff following her unanimous decision loss to Virna Jandiroba, facing rising Brazilian strawweight Denise Gomes in the co-main event of UFC Shanghai on August 29. The 37-year-old Chinese veteran (19-5, 1 NC) brings extensive experience, including a prior title challenge against Zhang Weili and victories over Mackenzie Dern and Jessica Andrade, while fighting in front of a supportive home crowd in Shanghai for the first time in nine years. Gomes enters on a four-fight winning streak with recent decisions over Tecia Pennington and Karolina Kowalkiewicz plus a second-round TKO of Elise Reed, giving the 26-year-old significant momentum and confidence to showcase improved grappling and overall MMA skills against a stylistic matchup she views as ideal. The bout pits Yan’s veteran striking and ring craft against Gomes’ youth, power, and recent form in a high-stakes strawweight clash.
