Viviane Araujo Exits UFC 293 Card, Now Meets Jennifer Maia on Oct. 14

Viviane Araujo will have both an opponent and venue change for her next fight.

Araujo was originally slated to face Casey O'Neill at UFC 293 in Sydney on Sept. 9 before her opponent withdrew from the bout. Instead, the Brazilian flyweight will lock horns with Jennifer Maia at a UFC Fight Night event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Oct. 14. The new bout was initially reported by Sherdog contributor Christian Stein.

Araujo will attempt to snap a two-fight skid against Maia. The 36-year-old Cerrado MMA export last appeared at UFC 285, where she suffered a unanimous decision loss to Amanda Ribas on March 4.

A former flyweight title challenger, Maia is coming off back-to-back decision wins against O’Neill and Maryna Moroz. The former Invicta FC title holder is 6-5 during her tenure with the Las Vegas based promotion.
