Chookagian and Maia first fought at UFC 244, with Chookagian winning via unanimous decision. That propelled “Blonde Fighter” into a title shot at UFC 247, where she suffered a third-round TKO defeat against Valentina Shevchenko. The Team Renzo Gracie representative has won three of her last four bouts since then, including a decision triumph over Viviane Araujo in her last outing at UFC 262.
Maia, meanwhile, faced Shevchenko at UFC 255, where she lost a clear-cut unanimous decision this past November. She rebounded to take a three-round verdict against Jessica Eye at UFC 264 on July 10.
