Barber seeks redemption against Judice as unbeaten Pasley earns UFC 335 debut

Maycee Barber and Carli Judice have been added to UFC 335 at women’s flyweight, with unbeaten prospect Quentin Pasley also booked for his promotional debut against Junior Tafa at light heavyweight. The card takes place on December 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Barber (15-3) steps back into the octagon looking to rebuild after a knockout loss to Alexa Grasso in March ended a seven-fight winning streak. Her record includes victories over Karine Silva, Katlyn Cerminara and Amanda Ribas, and the 28-year-old now faces a Judice side that has been in sharp form.

Judice (7-2) arrives on a four-fight winning streak and holds a 4-1 UFC record. The 27-year-old most recently stopped Jeisla Chaves with a front kick to the body and follow-up punches in August, and the matchup represents a clear step up in competition for her.

Pasley (4-0) secured his UFC contract on Week 5 of Dana White’s Contender Series Season 10 in September, finishing Arlind Berisha with first-round elbows. He has stopped all four of his professional opponents, and UFC CEO Dana White drew a comparison to Jon Jones when awarding him the contract. He faces Tafa (7-6), who carries a 3-6 record inside the UFC.

UFC 335 is headlined by Charles Oliveira defending the BMF title against Diego Lopes. The card also features a heavyweight bout between Alex Pereira and Sergei Pavlovich, as well as Joe Pyfer vs. Bo Nickal and Brandon Moreno vs. Charles Johnson.
