An upcoming Fight Night event in Seattle will see a pair of notable flyweights clash for the second time.
UFC Seattle is the landing spot for Alexa Grasso vs. Maycee Barber 2, with former UFC women’s flyweight champion Grasso seen raising her hand in the duo’s first meeting. The event will take 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 complete a trilogy, going 1-1-1, with the second fight ending in a draw, and the third seeing Shevchenko regain her 125-pound title.
Mexico’s Grasso returned to action last May at UFC 315, dropping a decision to flyweight contender Natalia Silva.
Barber (15-2), who lost a decision to Grasso at UFC 258 in February 2021, has not suffered a defeat since. She has won seven in a row, including a December victory over Karine Silva. Barber has also struggled with health issues, being pulled from a fight with Erin Blanchfield just before she was due to walk to the cage after reportedly suffering a seizure.
Alexa Grasso is tied for third in the women’s flyweight division, according to the official UFC rankings. Maycee Barber sits at #5.
UFC Seattle sees the promotion visit the home of “Seattle Sound” for the fifth time in its history.
