Carli Judice and Jeisla Chaves have been booked to meet at a UFC event scheduled for August 22, adding a women's bout to the promotion's busy summer schedule.
Judice, known by her nickname "Crispy," carries a 6-2 record into the fight and trains out of Headkicks MMA. The 27-year-old American stands five-foot-seven with a 68-inch reach and fights out of a southpaw stance. She has built a reputation as a high-output striker, landing an impressive 9.32 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy. Her ground attack remains limited in terms of submissions, though she does mix in takedowns at a rate of 0.52 per 15 minutes.
Chaves, nicknamed "A Braba," enters the bout undefeated at 5-0. The 29-year-old brings a perfect professional record and represents a test of Judice's experience against an unblemished prospect.
Why it matters
- Judice's high striking volume will be tested against an unbeaten opponent with nothing on her record to suggest a weakness
- Chaves has a chance to announce herself on the UFC stage with a statement win over a fighter who has already navigated losses at this level
- The pairing adds meaningful women's competition to the August 22 card as the UFC fills out its summer lineup
