Before Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor meet inside the cage for the third time, two of the UFC’s top women’s bantamweight contenders will collide on the same card.
Irene Aldana and Yana Kunitskaya are set to collide July 10 at UFC 264. The pay-per-view event, which takes place at T-Mobile Arena, will mark the first time since UFC 248 in March 2020 where the promotion has held a full capacity show in Las Vegas.
A person with knowledge of the matchup confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie on Tuesday but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Mexican news outlet Milenio was the first to report the news.

In her first UFC headliner against Holly Holm, however, Aldana had her two-fight winning streak snapped by unanimous decision.
Kuntiskaya (14-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) enters UFC 264 on a two-fight winning streak. On the heels of a loss to Aspen Ladd, Kunitskaya defeated Julija Stoliarenko by unanimous decision. She followed that up with another unanimous decision in her most recent outing in February, when she defeated Ketlen Vieira.
With the addition, the UFC 264 lineup includes:
Michael Bisping thinks Michael Chandler would be making a grave mistake by underestimating Conor McGregor. Chandler (23-8 MMA, 2-3 UFC) welcomes McGregor (22-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) back in a welterweight bout, which headlines UFC 303 June 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). McGregor hasn’t competed...
LAS VEGAS – Karine Silva has heard the praise. Even though the narratives are largely complementary, Silva (17-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) admits her run toward UFC notoriety isn’t as quick and effortless as it may seem. “It wasn’t quick, guys. It wasn’t fast,” Silva told MMA Junkie and other...
