A strawweight bout between Las Vegas residents Jamie Moyle and Emily Whitmire is the latest addition to July’s UFC 226 lineup. UFC officials have not formally announced the bout, but both Moyle (4-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and Whitmire (2-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) verified it on social media (via Instagram ): UFC 226 takes place July 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, though the full fight card and bout order haven’t been finalized. Moyle, 29, is coming off her first UFC loss. Following a successful octagon debut against Kailin Curran in December 2016, Moyle lost a decisive unanimous decision to Viviane Pereira at UFC 212 in June. The fight with Whitmire marks her return to competition from a more than 13-month layoff.
