MMAFighting.com was first to report the booking. A location and
venue for the card have not been confirmed.
After back-to-back losses to Roxanne
Modafferi and Alexa
Grasso halted her momentum, Barber has righted the ship in
recent months. The 24-year-old former Dana White’s Contender Series
competitor has rebounded to post successive triumphs over Miranda
Maverick, Montana
De La Rosa and Jessica Eye
to improve her UFC mark to 6-2 overall. Her last appearance was a
decision win over Eye at UFC 276 this past July.
Lee, meanwhile, had a two-bout winning streak snapped at UFC on
ESPN 36, where she dropped a unanimous decision to Viviane
Araujo on May 14. Prior to that, “KGB” went 2-0 in 2021 with
finishes of Cynthia
Calvillo and Antonina
Shevchenko.
