The veteran fighter, who was originally scheduled to fight Liz Carmouche, has been booked to fight Jennifer Maia (16-5-1) in a flyweight bout. The news was first reported by Combate and was later confirmed by MMA Fighting.
This will be the second time Modafferi (23-15) faces Maia, as the two fought for the Invicta FC flyweight title back in September 2016. Modafferi came up short, losing via split decision.
“The Happy Warrior” is 2-2 since rejoining the UFC in 2017. She outpointed Antonina Shevchenko in her last outing back in April.
