Sijara Eubanks is headed back up to 135 pounds.
“Sarj” is set to meet Aspen Ladd in a bantamweight bout at UFC on ESPN+ 9 on May 18 in Rochester, New York. MMAjunkie reported the pairing Thursday.
Eubanks and Ladd have already met once before. Ladd defeated Eubanks by unanimous decision at Invicta FC 21 in early 2017. That bout actually marked both athletes’ last official fight before signing with the UFC.
After losing to Ladd, Eubanks moved down to flyweight for The Ultimate Fighter 26, which decided the promotion’s inaugural women’s 125-pound champion.
