Flyweights Poliana Botelho and Ji Yeon Kim will collide inside the octagon in the first day of May, multiple people with knowledge of the booking told MMA Fighting. Combate first reported the matchup.
Botelho and Kim are looking to get back on track in the UFC following recent defeats in the octagon in 2020.
Brazil native Botelho, a member of Rio de Janeiro’s Nova Uniao team, returned from an 18-month layoff to lose a decision to Gillian Robertson in October 2020. Her UFC record is 3-2, bringing her overall MMA record to 8-3.
