Waterson lost a close split decision to Carla Esparaza at UFC 249 last May, 9 and a more convincing unanimous decision loss to Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC Fight Night 161 held October last year.

In the co-main event unbeaten Ottman Azaitar takes on Khama Worthy in a lightweight bout.

Thiago Santos’ return inside the UFC Octagon was supposed to be the main event for this fight. But his opponent Glover Teixeira tested positive for Covid-19 forcing the reschedule of their fight to October this year. 

Other fights in the main card include Roxanne Modafferi taking on Andrea Lee at women’s flyweight; Ed Herman against Mike Rodriguez at light heavyweight; and Billy Quarantillo versus Kyle Nelson at featherweight.
