Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
A viral star on social media, Ardelean (11-7 MMA, 2-2 UFC) has found success inside the cage, as well. After an 0-2 start to her UFC career, Ardelean has since won back-to-back unanimous decisions against Rayanne Dos Santos and Montserrat Ruiz.
Viana (13-8 MMA, 4-7 UFC) aims to snap a three-fight skid as she returns for her first bout in what will be 13 months at the time of the fight. Viana has been with the promotion since February 2018, notching wins over Mallory Martin and Jinh Yu Frey among others.
The updated UFC Fight Night 276 lineup includes:
-
Arnold Allen vs. Melquizael Costa
-
Alice Ardelean vs. Polyana Viana
