Three weeks before its event in Qatar, the UFC has officially announced two more bouts. At women's bantamweight, Jacqueline Cavalcanti (10-2) faces unbeaten Michelle Montague (8-0). At lightweight, Nikolas Motta (15-6, 1 NC) meets Dom Mar Fan (9-3). According to Cageside Press, the UFC confirmed the pairings on Instagram.
Both women are looking to climb the rankings: Cavalcanti, a former LFA star, suffered her first UFC loss last time out against Ketlen Vieira. Montague is 2-0 in the UFC and unbeaten as a pro. Motta (to Nazim Sadykhov) and Road to UFC alumnus Dom Mar Fan (to Kody Steele) are also coming off losses.
The Fight Night on November 21 is headlined by a light heavyweight bout between Jiří Procházka and Navajo Stirling. According to media reports, the card is also set to include Dan Hooker vs. Brian Ortega, Aljamain Sterling vs. Kevin Vallejos and Jared Cannonier vs. Ikram Aliskerov.
