Former American Top Team stablemates Mariya Agapova and Maryna Moroz will square off at UFC 272.

Both fighters confirmed the flyweight booking on social media following an initial report from Combate. UFC 272 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 5 and is also expected to include a featherweight bout pitting Edson Barboza against Bryce Mitchell.

Agapova has been victorious in two of her first three Octagon appearances. Most recently, the 24-year-old Kazakhstan native submitted Sabina Mazo in the third round of their encounter at UFC Fight Night 194 on Oct. 9. The former Contender Series and Invicta FC competitor is 10-2 as a pro, with eight victories coming inside the distance.

Moroz, meanwhile, will enter the bout on a two-fight winning streak after besting Mazo and Mayra Bueno Silva in her last two promotional outings, the most recent of which occurred in March 2020. The 30-year-old Ukraine native is 5-3 in UFC competition and 10-3 as a professional overall.
