An exciting bantamweight showdown is heading to the octagon in March.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a matchup between Julia Avila and Julija Stoliarenko will take place at the the UFC’s event on March 20. As of now, a location or venue has yet to be announced for the fight card.
Avila will look to bounce back after having her four-fight winning streak snapped by Sijara Eubanks at UFC Vegas 10 in September. “Raging Panda” was victorious in her first two octagon appearances earning a unanimous decision over Pannie Kianzad at UFC 239, and a 22-second stoppage win over Gina Mazany at June’s UFC on ESPN 10 event.
