The Manaus native posted a photo on her Instagram profile with the new contract and the caption “Next war already has a date and time”. Ketlen even tried to create suspense, without revealing who her opponent was, but the other side didn’t make a mystery. Chiasson quickly posted a montage of the two fighters, with the day and month. The former TUF star is excited.

With a record of 10 wins and three losses, Macy is coming off quick wins over Pannie kianzad and Mayra Bueno Silva. In fact, every time she faced Brazilians in the UFC, the American did well. In addition to Mayra, she won Norm Dumont e Larissa pacheco. The 'Phenomenon' promises to break the writing.

Now go!

The two fighters should have faced each other by now. However, an injury forced the Brazilian to miss the fight scheduled for January 13th this year at UFC Vegas 84. The fight was canceled by the organization.

Ketlen Scallop will face a 'top 5' bantamweight for the second time in a row. In UFC 307, held on October 5, the woman from Manaus saw the current second in the ranking, Kayla harrison, confirming her huge favoritism and taking the victory. The American was declared the winner by unanimous decision of the judges after a three-round fight.
