Jennifer Maia vs. Viviane Araujo targeted for UFC Fight Night card on June 27

Brazilian flyweights Jennifer Maia and Viviane Araujo have agreed to meet in the Octagon at a yet-to-be-announced UFC Fight Night card on June 27, multiple sources told MMA Fighting following a report by Combate, who added that the event is expected to take place in Austin, Texas.

Maia (17-6-1) will attempt to rebound from a decision loss to Katlyn Chookagian after winning back-to-back decisions against Roxanne Modafferi and Alexis Davis.

The former Invicta FC flyweight champion failed to make weight in her last two UFC bouts, going 1-1 in that stretch.
