Sijara Eubanks will welcome CFFC champion Elise Reed to the octagon. Eubanks (6-6 MMA, 4-4 UFC) takes on Reed (4-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in a flyweight bout at UFC Fight Night 191 on July 24, which is expected to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and stream on ESPN+. Two people with knowledge of the matchup informed MMA Junkie of the booking Tuesday but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. “The Ultimate Fighter 26” alum Eubanks will look to snap a two-fight losing skid when she moves back down to 125 pounds for the first time since 2018. After picking up back-to-back wins over Sarah Moras and Julia Avila, Eubanks has since dropped two straight to Ketlen Vieira and, most recently, Pannie Kianzad in December. Meanwhile, CFFC strawweight titleholder Reed will move up a weight class when she makes her UFC debut.
