Adriano Albuquerque of Globo reported today that Julia Avila vs Melissa Gatto has been added to UFC 239 July 6 at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas. This fight is at Bantamweight. Both fighters posted the above picture on Instagram. Julia is 31 years old from Oklahoma City. Her record is 6-1 and 1-1 in Invicta. This is her UFC debut. Her loss was when she broke her finger and the fight had to be stopped. She looked pretty good in Invicta. Melissa will also be making her UFC debut. She is 23 years old from Parana, Brazil. Her record is 6-0-2 in the Brazilian regional circuit. She came to the UFC as a replacement for the injured Jessica-Rose Clark at UFC 237. But she was forced to pull out due to a skin infection. Obviously I haven't seen her before. But I favor Julia because she has more experience and she has fought a higher competition level.
