At 38, Scottish fighter Joanne Wood is still going in the UFC. “Jojo” reversed a three-match skid with a split decision over Luana Caroline last time out. Debuting in the UFC in 2013, the former Muay Thai world champion was on the verge of a flyweight championship title match against Valentina Shevchenko before the former champ got injured. A loss to Jennifer Maia in August 2020 marked the start of the decline of Wood, who has won twice in five matches since then.

Maryna Moroz lost to Joanne Wood in her UFC debut. The Ukranian moved to mixed martial arts from boxing because of a lack of opportunities for female boxers in her home country. Now 32 years old, Moroz comes into the fight off the back of two consecutive losses to Jennifer Maia and Karine Silva. Before the double loss, “Iron Lady” won three on the bounce, including two bonus awards. The wins coincided with her return to flyweight.
