A women's flyweight bout between Tracy Cortez and Miranda Maverick was originally scheduled to take place at UFC on ESPN: Lemos vs. Jandiroba in July, but Cortez was pulled from the contest in order to serve as a replacement against former two-time UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Rose Namajunas a week earlier at UFC on ESPN: Namajunas vs. Cortez.[3] They are now expected to meet at this event.[4]
