An intriguing women’s flyweight bout between Alexa Grasso and Maycee Barber has been added to the UFC 258 pay-per-view event.

The news was confirmed by the promotion on Tuesday. The event will take place February 13 but there is no location or venue confirmed as of yet.

Grasso is coming off a unanimous decision win over Ji Yeon Jim in August in what was her flyweight debut.

Having alternated between wins and losses in her last few fights, the Mexican prospect will now look to kickstart a winning streak for the first time since suffering her first career defeat back in November 2016.

Barber, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from her first professional defeat.

“The Future” was outpointed by Roxanne Modafferi in their UFC 246 encounter earlier this year in January after tearing her ACL during the fight. Prior to that, the 22-year-old was undefeated with an 8-0 record and had earned TKO finishes in all three of her UFC appearances.

UFC 258 is reportedly set to be headlined by a welterweight title fight between Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns. A middleweight bout between Chris Weidman and Uriah Hall is also expected to feature on the card.

UFC women’s flyweight prospect Maycee Barber underwent successful surgery on her torn ACL.

Barber suffered the injury early on in her fight with Roxanne Modafferi at UFC 246 last month. However, she continued to fight for the full three rounds en route to losing her first-ever professional fight via unanimous decision.

It hasn’t deterred her from her goal of becoming the UFC’s youngest-ever champion, though. Barber successfully went under the knife recently and is expected to be out for nine months. And it wouldn’t be a surprise if she stuck to her goal of returning by the end of the year.

“Maycee Barber (@MayceeBarber) underwent successful surgery on her torn ACL moments ago in Milwaukee, per her father,” ESPN’s Brett Okamoto tweeted. “Procedure was done by Dr. Michael Gordon, former team physician of the Milwaukee Bucks. Expected timeframe for full recovery is nine months.”

Barber received plenty of criticism for the way she handled the loss. For one, she took control of the mic after the fight and had some condescending words for Modafferi. She then blamed the doctor for checking in on her injury in between rounds.

However, she could erase all of that with an impressive win upon her return.

Do you think we’ll see Barber back in action by the end of the year?
