Another female fight was booked for UFC Belem on Feb. 3 in Brazil, as Maia Stevenson faces Polyana Viana in a strawweight contest, the promotion announced following a report by Combate.
Stevenson (6-4) competed as a flyweight on the TUF season that just crowned the company’s first women’s 125-pound champion, losing to Sijara Eubanks in the first fight. She will cut down to 115 pounds for her official Octagon debut.
Stevenson went 5-0 in her last five official MMA bouts, but neither of those opponents had previously won a fight.
Viana (9-1) is a former Jungle Fight strawweight champion who makes her debut under the UFC banner after winning five in a row with first-round stoppages, including a stoppage over future UFC fighter Amanda Ribas.
