The Ultimate Fighter 34 Strawweight title fight is set for UFC Vegas 121, with Melissa Amaya competing for the crown. The bout airs live on September 26 on Paramount+.
Melissa Amaya will compete for The Ultimate Fighter 34 Strawweight title when UFC Vegas 121 takes center stage on September 26, airing live on Paramount+.
Amaya earned her spot in the finale by navigating the grueling TUF 34 tournament bracket, emerging as one of the two strawweights left standing when the season concluded. The TUF finale format puts both finalists on the biggest stage of their young careers, with a UFC contract and a season title on the line.
Her opponent in the championship bout has not been named in the booking announcement, but whoever steps across from Amaya will also have gone undefeated through the same tournament gauntlet to reach this moment.
Why it matters
- A TUF finale victory typically comes packaged with a UFC roster spot and immediate divisional visibility at 115 pounds.
- The strawweight division remains one of the most competitive weight classes in the promotion, meaning a strong finale performance could fast-track either fighter toward ranked competition.
- Airing on Paramount+ gives the bout a broad platform, raising the stakes for both competitors making their case to a wide audience.
UFC Vegas 121 is scheduled for September 26, with the strawweight title fight expected to serve as the season's marquee conclusion.
