The Ultimate Fighting Championship announced two new matchups Wednesday for UFC 335, the promotion's final numbered card of 2026. The event takes place on Dec. 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and will feature a women's flyweight clash between Maycee Barber and Carli Judice, along with a light heavyweight bout between Quentin Pasley and Junior Tafa.
Barber (15-3) returns looking to rebound from a March knockout loss to Alexa Grasso, which halted her seven-fight winning streak. The 28-year-old holds notable UFC victories over Karine Silva, Katlyn Cerminara, and Amanda Ribas. She meets Judice (7-2), who has won four consecutive bouts and sits at 4-1 in the Octagon. The 27-year-old Judice is coming off an August stoppage of Jeisla Chaves, whom she finished with a front kick to the body and follow-up punches.
At light heavyweight, the undefeated Pasley (4-0) will make his promotional debut against Tafa (7-6, 3-6 UFC). Pasley earned his UFC contract in September on Week 5 of Dana White's Contender Series Season 10 by knocking out Arlind Berisha with first-round elbows. UFC CEO Dana White compared Pasley to Jon Jones while awarding him the contract. Pasley has finished all four of his professional victories.
UFC 335 is headlined by Charles Oliveira defending the BMF title against Diego Lopes. The Las Vegas card also includes a heavyweight matchup pitting Alex Pereira against Sergei Pavlovich.
