Two women's Flyweight bouts added to Aug. 17 UFC show

Two women's Flyweight bouts have been added to UFC 241 Aug. 17 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. The first one reported by Marcelo Barone of Globo will have Poliana Botelho vs Maryna Moroz. Above is a pic of Poliana signing the bout agreement. The second one reported by Tristen Critchfield of Sherdog will have Sabina Mazo vs Shana Dobson. Both Poliana and Maryna started in the UFC as Strawweights but have moved up to Flyweight. Poliana is 30 years old from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She trains at Nova Uniao. Her record is 8-2. She went 2-1 at Strawweight and she won her Flyweight debut over Lauren Mueller. Poliana won the first two rounds and then hung on to win by unanimous decision. She is mainly a striker but she has been training with Ketlen Vieira and that could help her improve her ground game. Maryna is 27 years old from the Ukraine but she now trains at American Top Team in Florida. She's mainly a boxer. She went 3-3 in the UFC as a Strawweight but she moved up to Flyweight for her last fight. She fought at Flyweight before the UFC. She won that fight over Sabina Mazo when she broke Sabina's nose in round one and then hung on for the win. Sabina is 22 years old from Colombia but she trains at MMA Kings in Huntington Beach, CA. She's a former LFA champ and like I said, she lost her UFC debut when Maryna broke her nose in round one. Shana is 30 years old from Arlington, TX. She was in TUF 26 but she lost in the first round. The last time we saw her she lost to Lauren Mueller by unanimous decision Apr. 2018. She was supposed to fight in Nov. but dropped out due to injury. I have not liked what I have seen from her so far. The Flyweight division lacks title contenders. You'd think one of these four could rise up to that challenge. I liked what I saw from Maryna in her last fight.
