UFC books Tracy Cortez vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius for Sept. 16

Another UFC-ranked contender bout has been added to the promotion’s Mexican Independence Day card in Las Vegas.

Rising flyweights Tracy Cortez and Jasmine Jasudavicius are aligned for a three-round bout Sept. 16. The UFC Fight Night event headlined by Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko 2 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and streams on ESPN+.

Two people with knowledge of the booking recently informed MMA Junkie of the matchup but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Cortez (10-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) will step into the cage for the first time since May 2022 when she looks to extend her winning streak to 11. She was most recently scheduled to compete in December against Amanda Ribas, but withdrew from the bout due to a medical issue during fight week.

Jasudavicius (9-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) rides into the fight on a two-fight winning streak comprised of unanimous decision wins over Gabriella Fernandes and Miranda Maverick.

With the addition, the UFC Fight Night lineup for Sept. 16 includes:

  • Champion Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko – for women’s flyweight title
  • Shavkat Rakhmonov vs. Kelvin Gastelum
  • Tracy Cortez vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius
  • Chris Curtis vs. Anthony Hernandez
  • Lupita Godinez vs. Sam Hughes
