Macy Chiasson vs Gina Mazany added to Mar. 2 UFC show

Adam Hill of Las Vegas Journal Review reported yesterday that Macy Chiasson vs Gina Mazany has been added to UFC 235 Mar. 2 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This fight is at Bantamweight. Macy won TUF 28 which was for Featherweights. She is 27 years old from New Orleans. She is 3-0 and 1-0 in the UFC. All her fights have been at Featherweights and she fought most of her amateur fights at 155. So why is this at Bantamweight? I assume the UFC wants to keep her active while they figure out what to do with the Featherweight division. My guess is if Cris Cyborg leaves the UFC after her contract ends later this year, they will discontinue the Featherweight division. So they want to see if Macy can fight at Bantamweight. I liked her when I saw her in Invicta. So I was not surprised that Macy won TUF 28. I picked her to win. She's 5'9" which is tall for a Bantamweight. Gina is 30 years old. She trains at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas. Her brother Dave Mazany is an EFC champ. Both are also pro wrestlers and they frequently work as a tag team. Gina's record is 5-2 and 1-2 in the UFC. After an unsuccessful tryout for TUF 18, Gina got into the UFC as a late replacement Feb. 2017. She is not a UFC caliber fighter. We don't know if Macy can make 135 or if she will be the same fighter at the lighter weight. I guess we will find out.
