Combate first reported the bout, who’s spot on the card isn’t known at this time.
Casey (8-7-0) is going to be making her UFC Women’s Flyweight Division debut in this encounter, as the fighter previously competed at strawweight. Casey has won just one of her last four in the UFC, with that lone win coming over Angela Hill at UFC Fight Night Lincoln.
