The UFC has added a women's flyweight bout between Maycee Barber and Carli Judice to the December 12 UFC 335 card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, according to a UFC announcement reported by Sherdog. The promotion also confirmed a light heavyweight bout between unbeaten prospect Quentin Pasley and Junior Tafa for the same card.

Barber (15-3) returns for the first time since losing to Alexa Grasso by knockout in March, a result that ended a seven-fight winning streak. Bjpenn.com reports that Barber has since resumed training and is working toward another run at the flyweight title.

Judice (7-2, 4-1 in the UFC) enters on a four-fight winning streak. Her run includes an August stoppage of previously unbeaten Jeisla Chaves, finished in the first round by a body kick and follow-up strikes, and she has collected multiple post-fight bonuses along the way.

UFC 335 is headlined by a BMF lightweight title bout between Charles Oliveira and Diego Lopes, with a heavyweight matchup between Sergei Pavlovich and Alex Pereira also on the main card. Neither UFC nor the fighters have released a start time or broadcast assignment for the Barber-Judice bout at the time of this report.
