After an impressive win over Julia Avila last week in Las Vegas, Sijara Eubanks’ next matchup will be on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
ESPN’s Marc Raimondi reported that Eubanks will replace the injured Marion Reneau against Ketlen Vieira on next week’s UFC 253 card on September 26th. Additionally, Eubanks signed a new contract with the UFC.
Eubanks (6-4) has recovered nicely from a two-fight losing streak by getting decisions over both Sarah Moras and the aforementioned Avila. Originally a contender at flyweight, “Sarj” has had well-documented problems making the weight limit and as such has made a seemingly permanent move to bantamweight.
