MMAjunkie.com was first to report the strawweight bout. UFC
Fight Night is headlined by a light heavyweight duel pitting
Anthony
Smith against Johnny
Walker. A location and venue have not been announced for the
card.
Dern is coming off a 1-1 campaign in 2022. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu
black belt earned a split decision over Tecia
Torres at UFC 273 before suffering a majority decision defeat
to Xioanan Yan in the UFC Fight Night 211 headliner. Dern has won
five of her last seven Octagon appearances dating back to 2020.
After losing five of six promotional outings from May 2020 to May
2022, Hill has bounced back to post consecutive decision triumphs
over Lupita
Godinez and Emily
Ducote in her last two UFC bouts. The former Invicta FC title
holder is 10-12 over the course of two separate UFC stints.
