Joanne Wood to Face Luana Carolina at UFC 286 in London

A women’s flyweight showdown pitting Joanne Wood against Luana Carolina is on tap for UFC 286 in London.

Multiple outlets confirmed the booking following an initial report from Ag.Fight. UFC 286 takes place on March 18 at the O2 Arnea in London and also includes a middleweight clash between Marvin Vettori and Roman Dolidze. A headliner has not been announced for the event.

A former strawweight competitor, Wood is 5-5 at 125 pounds in the Octagon. The 36-year-old Syndicate MMA representative has lost three straight bouts and is coming off a first-round submission loss to Alexa Grasso at UFC on ESPN 33 on March 26.

After a 2-0 campaign in 2021, Carolina was on the wrong end of a spinning backfist KO against Molly McCann at UFC Fight Night 204 in her lone appearance of 2022. The Dana White’s Contender Series alum is 3-2 during her tenure with the Las Vegas-based promotion.
