An upcoming Fight Night event in Seattle will include a pair of standout flyweights colliding for the second time.
UFC Seattle is the landing spot for Alexa Grasso versus Maycee Barber 2, with former UFC women’s flyweight champion Grasso having seen her hand raised in the duo’s first encounter. The event takes place on March 28, 2026 at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington.
News of the booking was first reported by Twitter/X personality Krazy Kev.
Grasso (16-5-1) has not won a fight since her shock victory against Valentina Shevchenko in 2023. The pair would go on to complete a trilogy, going 1-1-1 with the second fight ending in a draw, and the third seeing Shevchenko reclaim her 125lb title.
Mexico’s Grasso returned to action at UFC 315 last May, dropping a decision against flyweight contender Natalia Silva.
Barber (15-2), who lost a decision to Grasso at UFC 258 in February of 2021, has not suffered defeat since. She’s won seven straight, including a December victory over Karine Silva. Barber has also battled health struggles that saw her pulled from a fight with Erin Blanchfield moments before she was set to walk out to the cage, after reportedly suffering a seizure.
Alexa Grasso is tied for the #3 spot in the women’s flyweight division, per the official UFC rankings. Maycee Barber sits at #5.
UFC Seattle sees the promotion visiting the home of the “Seattle Sound” for the fifth time in its history.
