A women’s flyweight fight is being planned to take place for the UFC’s February 13th event. Number 11-ranked contender Maycee Barber will come out of a year-long layoff to face Alexa Grasso.
News about the pairing surfaced on Twitter on Tuesday night.
After signing with the UFC through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2018, the 22-year-old Barber made a strong impression through three straight TKO wins. That streak ended when she ran into Roxanne Modafferi at UFC 246 in January, ending her undefeated run. She now holds a record of 8-1.
