On Thursday, officials announced that Macedo and Moroz will fight in a women’s flyweight bout at the upcoming Nov. 17 fight night event at the Luna Park arena in Buenos Aires. The matchup was first reported by ESPN.
This is an important opportunity for both women, who have had uneven results in the Octagon so far. Macedo is 0-2 in two UFC appearances, competing first at 135 pounds then dropping down to flyweight to fight Andrea Lee in May. The 22-year-old Venezuelan lost to Lee by unanimous decision and her pro record sits at 5-2-1.
