A flyweight meeting between Julija
Stoliarenko and Luana
Carolina has been confirmed for a UFC Fight Night card set to
take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Feb. 3.
The booking was first announced by
Carolina’s management on Instagram. A heavyweight bout between
Thomas
Petersen (8-1) and Jamal
Pogues (10-4) is also set for the event.
Stoliarenko (11-7) is coming off a Round 1 armbar submission
victory against English fan favorite Molly
McCann this past July. The Lithuanian fighter has a record of
2-4 in the Las Vegas-based promotion and will look to rack up a few
wins to secure her spot on the roster.
Meanwhile, Brazil’s Carolina (9-4) will enter the Octagon following
a hard-fought unanimous decision victory against Ivana
Siric Petrovic. That win snapped a two-fight losing streak that
included a split-decision loss to Joanne Wood
and a knockout loss against McCann.
