Paige VanZant is healed and ready to fight again on a landmark card for the UFC.

VanZant is slated to make her return to the octagon in a flyweight bout against Rachael Ostovich on Jan. 18 at the UFC’s debut event on ESPN.

A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to MMAjunkie that the fight is in the works following an initial report by MMAFighting.com on Sunday. The person requested anonymity because the UFC has yet to make the news public.

In a tweet from Aug. 17, VanZant (7-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) teased that she had accepted a fight date following an injury in her previous bout.

Just said yes to a fight date. PVZ is returning. #UFC

After reports of the impending booking were published Sunday, VanZant walked back her previous tweet and called the new development of a fight with Ostovich “fake news.”

#FakeNews..sorry everyone I’m not even cleared yet. Hoping to get cleared this week to slowly start back to training! Off to Vegas Thursday to see my doctor.

VanZant, 24, suffered a broken right arm in her unanimous-decision loss to Jessica-Rose Clark at UFC Fight Night 124 in January. She had surgery shortly after, but months later it was discovered the healing process didn’t go well. VanZant underwent a second procedure on July 19.

It will have been a full year without competing for VanZant, who has struggled to remain an active fighter. After opening her professional career with eight bouts from 2012 to 2015, VanZant has fought just three times in the last two years, missing all of 2017.

Ostovich, 27, was a contestant last year on “The Ultimate Fighter 26.” She has split her first two fights in the UFC, most recently losing to Montana De La Rosa in July at The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale.

The UFC’s premiere event on ESPN currently doesn’t have a location, only a date of Jan. 18, 2019, and will take place on the network’s flagship channel.
