The UFC’s debut in Uruguay appears to have the start to its lineup with the addition of a women’s flyweight fight.
Ashlee Evans-Smith (6-4 MMA, 3-4 UFC) will take on Taila Santos (15-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at UFC on ESPN+ 14, according to a report from Brazilian MMA outlet Combate.com. In addition, a fight between Rogerio Bontorin (15-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Raulian Paiva (18-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) reportedly has been added to the card.
UFC on ESPN+ 14 takes place Aug. 10 at Antel Arena in Montevideo, Uruguay. The card streams on ESPN+.
Evans-Smith will be looking to get back in the win column after a decision loss to Andrea Lee in February. Prior to that, she snapped a two-fight skid with a decision win over Bec Rawlings in April 2018, which marked her debut at flyweight after years at bantamweight.
Santos made her promotional debut in February after, but dropped a split decision to Mara Romero Borella at UFC on ESPN+ 2. It was the first loss of her pro career after impressing enough on Dana White’s Contenders Series in August 2018 to get an eventual call from the UFC.
