Combate in Brazil reported yesterday that Livia Renata Souza vs Sarah Frota has been added to UFC on ESPN+ 2 Feb. 2 at Centro de Formacao Olimpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Brazil. This fight will be at Strawweight. Livia is 27 years old from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Her record is 12-1. She is a former Invicta Strawweight champ. She finally made her UFC debut in September after recovering from a broken hand. She submitted Alex Chambers with a first round guillotine choke. Sarah is 31 years old from Santa Catarina, Brazil. She trains at Astra Fight Team. She is a teammate of UFC fighter Taila Santos. Her record is 9-0 on the Brazilian regional circuit. She was on the Brazilian edition of Dana White Contender Series. But her opponent was someone she has already beaten. This is a big step up in competition for her as Livia is a very skilled fighter who proved herself at Invicta. It's a tough fight for Sarah though a win would move her up the ladder. Livia fought a higher level of competition at Invicta so she's the favorite.
