Additionally, a flyweight co-headliner between Miranda Maverick and Rose Namajunas was confirmed. However, details about the rest of the card were scarce until now.
New Fights Confirmed for UFC Atlanta
In an exciting update on Tuesday, the UFC unveiled six new matchups for the Atlanta card. Among the notable additions is a welterweight clash between former top-15 contender Michael Chiesa and MMA veteran Court McGee.

Meanwhile, Sy eyes an undefeated record of 12-0 and a potential spot in the light heavyweight rankings.
