Rachael Ostovich vs. Shana Dobson in the works for UFC Auckland
The UFC is working on a bout that would pit two cast members of “The Ultimate Fighter 26” against one another.
A flyweight fight between Rachael Ostovich and Shana Dobson is in the works for UFC Auckland. Both fighters will look to snap recent losing streaks.
Wednesday, two people with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking. However, they asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
While they were both featured on “TUF 26,” Ostovich (Team Gaethje) and Dobson (Team Alvarez) were members of opposing teams. The two fighters were on opposite sides of the bracket, and never crossed paths while in the house.
After defeating Karine Gevorgyan in her promotional debut at the TUF 26 Finale, Ostovich (4-5 MMA, 1-2 UFC) dropped back-to-back outings inside the distance against Montana De La Rosa and Paige VanZant.
In her promotional debut, Dobson (3-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) finished Ariel Beck by strikes at the TUF 26 Finale. Thereafter, Dobson lost to Lauren Mueller and Sabina Mazo by unanimous decision in consecutive outings.
UFC Auckland takes place Feb. 22 (Sunday, Feb. 23 locally) at Spark Arena in Auckland. The card is likely to stream on ESPN+.
With the addition, the latest UFC Auckland card includes:
- Paul Felder vs. Dan Hooker
- Vinicius Moreira vs. Tyson Pedro
- Marcos Rogerio de Lima vs. Ben Sosoli
- Jake Matthews vs. Emil Meek
- Magomed Mustafaev vs. Brad Riddell
- Karolina Kowalkiewicz vs. Xiaonan Yan
- Jimmy Crute vs. Michal Oleksiejczuk
