Two women's matches added to May 16 UFC show

Over the weekend the UFC finally confirmed that UFC on ESPN+ 33 will be May 16 at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego. There will be two women's Flyweight matches on the show. Ariane Lipsky will face Luana Carolina. and Cortney Casey will face Lara Procopio. As you can see above, Ariane signed a new UFC contract which she posted on Facebook. She's 26 years old from Curitiba, Brazil. She now trains at Kings MMA in Huntington Beach, CA. Her record is 12-5 and 1-2 in the UFC. She is a former KSW champ. But she lost her first two UFC fights. She looked bewildered after her loss to Molly McCann. She looked good enough in her last fight that she signed a new contract. We'll see if she can live up to her potential. Luana is 26 years old from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Her record is 6-1. she was in the Brazilian Dana White Contender series. After winning her UFC debut, Luana was supposed to fight in August but pulled out due to injury. Cortney is 32 years old. She trains at MMA Lab in Phoenix with John Crouch. Her record is 8-7 and 4-6 in the UFC. All of those fights have been at Strawweight. This will be her first fight at Flyweight. I don't think she's that good anyway so I don't know if that will make any difference. Lara is 24 years old from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She trains at Nova Uniao. Her record is 6-1. She lost her UFC debut to Karol Rosa by split decision. I didn't think it was that close. Karol kept it standing and she is a striker. Lara couldn't take it to the ground. Lara took that fight on short notice and it was at Bantamweight. She fought in both weight classes in Brazil. So I don't know if fighting at Flyweight will make any difference. But going through a full training camp could make a difference.
