A women’s bantamweight division attraction has been rebooked for a yet to be announced UFC card on June 13 as Karol Rosa faces Julia Avila.
MMA Fighting first reported the news, as the bout was originally set to happen earlier this year at UFC Fight Night Oklahoma City.
Rosa (12-3-0) is undefeated thus far under the UFC banner, having defeated Lara Fritzen Procopio at UFC Fight Night Shenzhen. Rosa will come into the contest riding a three fight winning streak and she hasn’t suffered a defeat in over a year. Rosa has suffered a total of three losses as a professional MMA fighter and one of them came to a UFC veteran in Larissa Pacheco.
Avila (7-1-0) is also undefeated thus far in the UFC, defeating Pannie Kianzad by unanimous decision at UFC 239.
