Former American Top Team stablemates Mariya
Agapova and Maryna
Moroz will square off at UFC 272.
Both fighters confirmed the flyweight booking on social media
following an initial report from
Combate. UFC 272 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on
March 5 and is also expected to include a featherweight bout
pitting Edson
Barboza against Bryce
Mitchell.
Agapova has been victorious in two of her first three Octagon
appearances. Most recently, the 24-year-old Kazakhstan native
submitted Sabina Mazo
in the third round of their encounter at UFC Fight Night 194 on
Oct. 9. The former Contender Series and Invicta FC competitor is
10-2 as a pro, with eight victories coming inside the distance.
Moroz, meanwhile, will enter the bout on a two-fight winning streak
after besting Mazo and Mayra
Bueno Silva in her last two promotional outings, the most
recent of which occurred in March 2020. The 30-year-old Ukraine
native is 5-3 in UFC competition and 10-3 as a professional
overall.
