Rachael Ostovich’s return to the Octagon is going to be delayed a while longer. The former Ultimate Fighter Season 26 contender has only competed three times in the UFC since entering the promotion, largely due to a series of ongoing injury struggles. Her last time in the cage came against Paige VanZant in January of 2019. Ostovich lost the bout via arm bar in the second round.
Ostovich has since been booked for a bout against Polyana Viana in August of last year, and Shana Dobson back in February of 2020. Eventually she was forced to withdraw from both events, however, the latter due to a failed drug test—caused by what USADA later identified as a tainted supplement.
