The UFC has officially announced two additional bouts for its November 21 card in Doha, Qatar: a women's bantamweight matchup between Jacqueline Cavalcanti and Michelle Montague, and a lightweight bout between Nikolas Motta and Dom Mar Fan.
Both pairings had circulated for weeks before the promotion made them official this week. Sherdog traces the Cavalcanti-Montague report to an October 7 post from the insider account Ag Fight, and notes it is so far the only women's bout added to the card.
The additions join the UFC Fight Night: Prochazka vs. Stirling lineup, set for ABHA Arena, where Jiri Prochazka headlines against Navajo Stirling in a light heavyweight main event. It marks the UFC's second visit to Qatar, which hosted the promotion's regional debut at the same venue in November 2025.
Cavalcanti looks to bounce back, Montague stays unbeaten
Cavalcanti, a former LFA star, is 10-2 and coming off a unanimous-decision loss to Ketlen Vieira in May that snapped a run of wins over opponents including Josiane Nunes, Julia Avila and Mayra Bueno Silva. Montague, from New Zealand, is undefeated at 8-0 and has won both of her UFC fights since signing with the promotion last year, including a decision over Bueno Silva.
Motta and Fan both look to rebound
Motta is 15-6 and lost his most recent fight, a second-round TKO defeat to Nazim Sadykhov in June 2025. Fan, who earned his UFC contract through the Road to UFC tournament, is 9-3 and dropped his promotional debut to Kody Steele by first-round heel hook submission in May.
Neither new bout has a listed slot on the card's main or preliminary order yet, and the ufc.com event page had not added either fight as of this writing.
