Alexa Grasso and Viviane Araujo will now have five rounds in which to settle their differences.
The flyweight bout will now serve as the main event for UFC Fight Night 212 on Oct. 15, the promotion announced Wednesday. UFC Fight Night 212 was originally expected to be headlined by a middleweight clash pitting Jared Cannonier against Sean Strickland, but that bout was canceled when Strickland was forced to withdraw due to an infected finger.
