debut against Junior Tafa
Judice (7-2) has won four consecutive fights and faces a
significant step up in competition against Barber (15-3). The
27-year-old stopped Jeisla
Chaves with a front kick to the body and follow-up punches in
August, improving her UFC record to 4-1.
Barber will look to rebound from her March knockout loss to
Alexa
Grasso, which ended a seven-fight winning streak. The
28-year-old’s victories include wins over Karine
Silva, Katlyn
Cerminara and Amanda
Ribas.
Pasley (4-0) earned his UFC contract on
Week 5 of DWCS Season 10 in September, knocking out Arlind
Berisha with first-round elbows. He has finished all four of
his professional victories and faces Tafa (7-6), who is 3-6 in the
UFC.

White compared Pasley to Jon Jones
while awarding him a contract.
UFC 335 will be headlined by Charles
Oliveira defending the BMF title against Diego
Lopes. The card also features a heavyweight clash between
Alex
Pereira and Sergei
Pavlovich, along with Joe Pyfer vs.
Bo
Nickal and Brandon
Moreno vs. Charles
Johnson.
