The UFC has added two more fights to its UFC Qatar card on Nov. 21 in Doha, including a bantamweight bout between Jacqueline Cavalcanti and unbeaten Michelle Montague, MMA Fighting reported. The card is headlined by Jiri Prochazka against Navajo Stirling.
Cavalcanti enters at 10-2 and is looking to bounce back from a unanimous decision loss to Ketlen Vieira in May. Montague, 8-0, has won both of her UFC fights so far, beating Mayra Bueno Silva and Luana Carolina. The matchup pits a fighter coming off a setback against one who has yet to taste defeat on the sport's biggest stage.
A welterweight bout between Dom Mar Fan and Nikolas Motta was also added to the card.
Mar Fan, a 26-year-old with a 9-3 record, is coming off a first-round submission loss to Kody Steele on May 2, his most recent recorded fight. That followed a unanimous decision win over Sangwook Kim in January. He lands 3.71 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy and averages 2.0 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Motta, 33, is 15-6 and fights out of Nova Uniao in Brazil. His most recent recorded fight was a second-round TKO loss to Nazim Sadykhov in June 2025, which followed a unanimous decision win over Maheshate and a first-round KO of Tom Nolan. He lands 3.64 significant strikes per minute at 37 percent accuracy and has no recorded takedowns or submission attempts.
Prochazka, the main event headliner, is 32-6-1 and ranked second at light heavyweight. The 34-year-old Czech fighter is coming off a first-round knockout loss to Carlos Ulberg in a title fight at UFC 327 in April. He lands 5.69 significant strikes per minute at 55 percent accuracy.
Why it matters
- Both of Cavalcanti's and Mar Fan's most recent recorded fights ended in losses, so each looks to avoid a second straight defeat.
- Montague's unbeaten run faces a test against an opponent with two professional losses and more experience.
- Mar Fan's takedown rate of 2.0 per 15 minutes against Motta's recorded zero sets up a clear grappling-versus-striking contrast.
- Mar Fan holds a four-inch reach edge, 75 inches to Motta's 70, and is also two inches taller.
