Maria Oliveira and Diana Belbita are set to face off in a strawweight bout at UFC 289 on June 10, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation. The UFC has not yet officially announced the main event and location for the event.
Oliveira, a RIZIN and Dana White’s Contender Series veteran, currently holds a 1-2 record under the company’s banner. The PRVT athlete has previously achieved a split decision victory over Gloria de Paula, but suffered losses to Tabatha Ricci and Vanessa Demopoulos. On the other hand, Belbita has a 14-7 record and hasn’t fought since February 2022, following the cancellation of her fight with Loma Lookboonmee in September.
Known as “The Warrior Princess,” Belbita is a one-time KSW title contender and has won only one of her four fights in the UFC. This lone victory came in 2021 when she triumphed over Hannah Goldy in a decision. As both fighters prepare for their upcoming matchup at UFC 289, fans eagerly await to see who will come out on top in this strawweight clash.
