A matchup between two top-ranked women’s strawweights is the latest addition to the UFC’s first event in 2020. Claudia Gadelha (17-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) will take on Alexa Grasso (11-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC), a person with knowledge of the booking told MMA Junkie on Saturday. The person requested anonymity since the UFC has yet to make an announcement. The Jan. 18 show, expected to be UFC 246, doesn’t have an announced location yet, but is expected to take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims expected for ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass.
