UFC's female flyweight prospects Maycee Barber and Miranda Maverick agreed to a UFC Fight Night bout on July 24, UFC president Dana White told ESPN's Brett Okamoto.
The location of the three-round fight has yet to be announced.
Barber has lost her last two fights, the most recent versus Alexa Grasso in February. The 22-year-old signed with UFC after a win on White's Contender Series in summer 2018 and was 3-0 to start her UFC career. Her last victory came in October 2019 against Gillian Robertson.
Meanwhile, Maverick also defeated Robertson by unanimous decision last month, improving her UFC record to 2-0.
