Mackenzie Dern will make her first Octagon appearance in more than a year when she faces Amanda Ribas at a UFC Fight Night event on Oct. 12.
Multiple outlets have confirmed the booking following an initial report from ESPN.com . Both fighters have verbally agreed to the matchup, which will take place at 115 pounds. The promotion has not yet announced a venue for the ESPN+-streamed event, though it has been rumored for San Francisco.
Dern took a hiatus to become a mother and gave birth to her daughter, Moa, on June 9.
