Maryna Moroz has been pulled from the UFC Fight Night event on Sept. 5 due to being unable to secure a visa because of the coronavirus pandemic, thus the flyweight can’t travel to the U.S. from Ukraine. Combate first reported the news. Montana De La Rosa will remain on the card as she’ll now take on Viviane Araujo.
De La Rosa is coming off a victory over Mara Romero Borella at UFC Fight Night 167. Despite her loss against Andrea Lee at UFC Fight Night 154, the flyweight has managed to win four out her last five fights, also beating Nadia Kassem (via submission at UFC 234), Rachael Ostovich (via submission at The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale), and Christina Marks (via submission at The Ultimate Fighter 26 Finale). De La Rosa’s professional record currently stands at 11 wins and 5 losses.
When Araujo made her debut in 2019, she came into the company with some solid momentum as the flyweight was on a three-fight winning streak. Araujo continued to rack up wins by beating Talita Bernardo (via KO at UFC 237) and Alexis Davis (via unanimous decision at UFC 240); however, her loss against Jessica Eye at UFC 245 broke her winning streak. Araujo’s professional record currently stands at 8 wins and 2 losses.
