Julia Avila vs. Julija Stoliarenko added to UFC Fight Night on March 20

A pair of women’s bantamweights will look to rebound at UFC Fight Night on March 20.

Julia Avila (8-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) faces Julija Stoliarenko (9-4-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) in an event that does not yet have a venue or location. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the news to MMA Junkie following a report from MMA Fighting.

After going 2-0 to start her UFC tenure with wins over Pannie Kianzad and Gina Mazany, Avila saw her four-fight winning streak snapped at the hands of Sijara Eubanks at UFC on ESPN+ 35 in September.

In her return to the UFC, Season 28 “The Ultimate Fighter” alum Stoliarenko fell short against Yana Kunitskaya at UFC on ESPN+ 32, which snapped her five-fight winning streak. Prior to that, Stoliarenko captured the vacant Invicta FC bantamweight title by edging out Lisa Verzosa in an absolute bloodbath.

With the addition, the UFC Fight Night on March 20 lineup includes:

• Derek Brunson vs. Kevin Holland
• Cheyanne Buys vs. Kay Hansen
• Julia Avila vs. Julija Stoliarenko
