LFA champ Sabina Mazo makes octagon debut vs. Maryna Moroz at UFC on ESPN 2
Top women’s flyweight prospect Sabina Mazo will make her UFC debut against Maryna Moroz in March at UFC on ESPN 2.
UFC officials today announced Mazo (6-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who will be vacating the LFA title to move to the UFC, will fight Moroz (8-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC), who will be moving up from the strawweight for the contest.
UFC on ESPN 2 takes place March 30 at Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia, Penn. The card airs on ESPN likely following prelims streamed on ESPN+, though broadcast plans haven’t been finalized.
Mazo, nicknamed “Colombian Queen,” is just 21. She has already made an impression in the sport, though, recording a number of highlight-reel knockouts on the regional scene courtesy of her crushing head kicks. She most recently competed at LFA 54 in November, beating Carol Yariwaki by decision to defend her title.
Moroz, meanwhile, will be making her return to the octagon after more than a year away. She dropped a decision to Angela Hill in her most recent bout at UFC on FOX 28 in February, putting her on a two-fight skid for the first time. Now she will make a change in division with hopes of getting back on track.
The latest UFC on ESPN 2 card now includes:
- Edson Barboza vs. Justin Gaethje
- Karolina Kowalkiewicz vs. Michelle Waterson
- Alexa Grasso vs. Marina Rodriguez
- Maryna Moroz vs. Sabina Mazo
