The Ultimate Fighting Championship will be in action once again this weekend. UFC Vegas 42 will take place inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on 13th November. The much-anticipated featherweight fight between Max Holloway and Yair Rodriguez will headline the event. However, the UFC Vegas 42 fight card reflects many amazing bouts. One such is the women’s featherweight that will feature on the main card of the event. The former women’s flyweight title challenger Felicia Spencer will take on the fresh UFC prospect Leah Letson inside the cage.
The Canadian women’s fighter, Spencer, has only two wins in her UFC career. However, she has faced one of the best women fighters on the roster, Amanda Nunes, in 2020. She is currently on a two-fight skid and will look for ways to bounce back in the win column.
Leah Letson, on the other hand, has fought only once in the UFC. She is currently 1-0 in the promotion and is coming back to the octagon after a long hiatus.
Considering the shallowness of the division, a win in this fight will surely fast-track the journey of the women’s featherweight fighters to the UFC gold strap.
Felicia Spencer vs Leah Letson: Prediction and Analysis
Felicia Spencer has a decent professional fighting record of 8-3 under her name. She has two knockout wins and four submission wins on her MMA resume. The former featherweight title challenger is 2-3 in the UFC. Interestingly, both her previous wins came via a knockout in the very first round of the bout.
Meanwhile, Letson has a professional fighting record of 5-2 under her name. She has finished three of her opponents via knockout. She made her UFC debut in 2018 and has fought only once.
Coming into the fight, ‘Nidas’ has a three-inch reach and one-inch height advantage over Spencer. However, the latter has more fight experience than Letson.
‘Feenom’ was a champion in her previous promotion. Also, she fought the UFC #1 pound-for-pound women’s fighter. Hence, she has a clear advantage over Letson. The latter was away from fighting for three years. This kind of layoff surely affects the fighters inside the octagon.

The fans might see a lot of striking exchanges in the fight. However, it won’t be a walk in the park for ‘Nidas’ to knockout Spencer, as she is yet to be finished in her career. This fight might go the distance if Letson doesn’t find an early finish, and the odds might fall in the favor of the more experienced fighter Spencer.
