A pair of former Invicta Fighting Championships champs will stand toe-to-toe inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship Octagon this May.

MMA Fighting broke the news on Thursday that Virna Jandiroba (17-3) will throw down with Angela Hill (13-11) in the strawweight division at a UFC Fight Night event on May 14. Jandiroba has since confirmed the pairing on her Instagram account. The show that will likely take place inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas does not currently have a headliner booked, but it is anticipated that this tilt will take place on its main card.

Since surrendering her 115-pound crown in the Invicta FC ranks to join the UFC, “Carcara” has struggled, with three wins opposite three defeats. Her UFC debut in 2019 marked the first time Jandiroba had ever lost in her career, but she did manage to bounce back with a pair of submission wins over Mallory Martin and Felice Herrig. Since then, she has bookended a win due to injury against Kanako Murata with decision losses to Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas.

While Jandiroba has gone 3-3 in her last six, Hill has struggled to get her hand raised more than her opponent, with two decision wins against Konklak Suphisara and Ashley Yoder accompanied by four losses. Of note, three of the setbacks came by split decision, with scoring media members awarding her the win on a majority of their scorecards in all three close matches. Despite media scores in her favor, Hill has suffered 11 losses as a UFC fighter, a record among all women.
