UFC flyweights Maryna Moroz and Luana Carolina will collide inside the octagon at a UFC Fight Night show on Oct. 16 in Las Vegas, multiple people with knowledge of the booking told MMA Fighting following an initial report from Combate.
The UFC has yet to officially announce the event and its headlining attraction.
Moroz (10-3) is looking for her third straight victory as a UFC flyweight following decisions over Sabina Mazo and Mayra Bueno Silva in 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Alan Patrick’s fight with Mason Jones will go down as a no-contest, but he could be feeling its effects for a while.
During a lightweight fight that Jones appeared to be winning at UFC Vegas 28 this past Saturday, Patrick suffered an eye poke two minutes into the second round. He was unable to continue, and the fight was waved off without a victor.
According to the list of medical suspensions acquired by mixedmartialarts.com, Patrick requires clearance on his left eye from an ophthalmologist due to a left eye peri-orbital laceration – or he will be suspended until Dec. 3.
