A strawweight matchup is the first addition to the UFC’s upcoming card on August 15.
Livia Renata Souza (13-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) will face Ashley Yoder (7-5 MMA, 2-4 UFC). MMA Junkie confirmed the booking after an initial report from Combate. A location for the card has not yet been announced.
Former Invicta FC 115-pound champ Souza was successful in her first two octagon bouts, scoring wins over Alex Chambers and Sarah Frota. But in her last outing in July, Souza saw her four-fight winning streak snapped at the hands of Brianna Van Buren.
Yoder rebounded from a three-fight skid with back-to-back wins over Amanda Cooper and Syuri Kondo, but was then edged out by Randa Markos last October in Singapore.
