A rematch of former flyweight challengers is in the works for early next year, as Katlyn Chookagian and Jennifer Maia are expected to square off at a UFC event on Jan. 15.
MMA Ideas first reported the bout. A location for the card has yet to be officially announced, but Calvin Kattar and Giga Chikadze will meet in the evening’s main event.
Chookagian and Maia first fought at UFC 244, with Chookagian winning via unanimous decision. That propelled “Blonde Fighter” into a title shot at UFC 247, where she suffered a third-round TKO defeat against Valentina Shevchenko.
