A women’s strawweight division attraction has been added to the March 23 UFC Fight Night card according to AG Fight as Stephanie Luciano faces Shauna Bannon.

Luciano (5-1-1) is making her UFC debut in this encounter and does so having won two of her last four fights. Luciano competed on Dana White’s Contender Series, fighting Talita Alencar to a unanimous draw during the 2023 season. Luciano has competed seven times as a professional MMA fighter and none of her fights have yet to end by way of submission.

Bannon (5-1-0) is winless thus far under the UFC banner, having dropped a bout to Bruna Brasil via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 224.
