Brazilian strawweights Livinha Souza and Amanda Lemos will collide in the octagon on March 6 as both agreed to meet at UFC 259, multiple people with knowledge of the booking told MMA Fighting following a report from Combate.
Souza (14-2) defeated Ashley Yoder via decision in her most recent appearance in August before pulling out of a scheduled bout with Kanako Murata in November.
The former Invicta FC 115-pound titleholder kicked off her UFC career in 2018 with a pair of wins over Alex Chambers and Sarah Frota before dropping a decision to Brianna Van Buren.
