A women's strawweight meeting between Mexico’s Yazmin Jauregui and Iowa native Sam Hughes has been added to the UFC Mexico card.

The booking was first reported by ESPN Deportes on Friday.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is set to return to Mexico City on Feb. 24 at Mexico City Arena. This will mark the promotion's return to the country after four-and-a-half years.

Jauregui joined the UFC in August 2021 with an 8-0 record and has since gone 2-1. Following her Round 2 technical knockout victory against Istela Nunes in 2022, the Mexican suffered the first loss of her professional career after being knocked out within 20 seconds of her bout against Denise Gomes at UFC 290 in July this year.
