The Las Vegas-based promotion announced the booking on Tuesday. UFC
303 takes place on June 29 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and
is headlined by a welterweight bout between Conor
McGregor and Michael
Chandler.
Bueno Silva will return to action for the first time since UFC 297,
when she dropped a five-round verdict to Raquel
Pennington in a 135-pound title bout on Jan. 20. The Brazilian
known as “Sheetara” is 5-3-1 with one no contest during her Octagon
tenure.
Chiasson, meanwhile, fought for the first time in 18 months at UFC
Fight Night 239, where she submitted Pannie
Kianzad in the opening stanza on March 16. “The Ultimate
Fighter 28” winner has competed at both 145 and 135 pounds while
compiling a 7-3 mark in the UFC.
