Roxanne Modafferi vs. Viviane Araujo targeted for UFC event on Jan. 30

The UFC’s 2021 schedule is starting to come together with the addition of a top-10 women’s flyweight bout.

Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that a matchup between Roxanne Modafferi and Viviane Araujo is being targeted for the UFC’s Jan. 30 event.

MyMMANews.com was first to report the booking.

Modafferi has flip-flopped wins and losses over her last eight octagon appearances. “The Happy Warrior” began her 2020 campaign in a huge way with a dominant unanimous decision win over the previously unbeaten Maycee Barber at UFC 246 in January.
