Sports news ยป Vieira vs. Chiasson Bantamweight Clash Rebooked for UFC Vegas 107

A highly anticipated bantamweight clash in the UFC has been rescheduled.

Sources close to the promotion have confirmed that Ketlen Vieira and Macy Chiasson will now face off at UFC Vegas 107 on May 31st at the UFC APEX facility.

The pair were originally scheduled to fight at UFC Seattle in February, but Chiasson had to withdraw due to injury.

Vieira, 33, is seeking to rebound after a close decision defeat to Kayla Harrison, a future title contender, at UFC 307 last October. Before that setback, the #4 ranked bantamweight in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings had won three of her previous four fights, including decision victories over former champions Holly Holm and Miesha Tate.

Chiasson has finished her last two opponents and has won three of her last four matches. The #5 ranked fighter in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings defeated Pannie Kianzad and former title challenger Mayra Bueno Silva in a successful 2024.

UFC Vegas 107 will be headlined by a flyweight contest between Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber.
