To say Julia Avila’s 14 months in the UFC have seen a lot of changes would be an understatement.
The latest switch-up leads Avila to the UFC APEX in Las Vegas this Saturday night where she’ll face fellow top-15 bantamweight contender Sijara Eubanks at UFC Vegas 10.
“Raging Panda” has yet to face an opponent she was originally contracted to fight since signing with the promotion in mid-2019. From her UFC debut—where she defeat Pannie Kianzad at UFC 239—to four different re-bookings with Karol Rosa, to getting a short-notice opponent in Gina Mazany in June, to three different dates on the books to face Nicco Montano, there have been 10 different scenarios for the Oklahoma based fighter in just over 14 months.
