Multiple outlets confirmed the booking following an announcement by Phillips on social media. The event takes place at an as yet to be announced location and is also expected to include a women’s bantamweight showdown pitting Aspen Ladd against Macy Chiasson.

Assuncao will look to snap a three-bout losing streak after falling to Cody Garbrandt, Cory Sandhagen and Marlon Moraes in his last three Octagon appearances. Assuncao was supposed to face Raoni Barcelos on Feb. 27 but withdrew from the card due to a positive COVID-19 test. The 38-year-old Brazilian has not competed since suffering a second-round KO loss to Garbrandt at UFC 250 in June 2020.

Phillips, meanwhile, enters the matchup on a four-bout winning streak that includes a trio of triumphs in UFC competition. Most recently, the Dana White’s Contender Series alum outpointed Yadong Song at UFC 259 on March 6.
