Jacqueline Cavalcanti (10-2 record) faces unbeaten Michelle Montague at UFC Qatar
Cavalcanti returns in Doha on 21 November seeking to bounce back from her first UFC defeat, a unanimous decision loss to Ketlen Vieira in May.
Jacqueline Cavalcanti will fight the unbeaten Michelle Montague at UFC Qatar on 21 November, the UFC has announced. The bantamweight bout takes place at the Ali Bin Hamad al-Attiyah Arena in Doha, and both women hold top-15 places in the UFC's official rankings at 135lb.
Cavalcanti (10-2) won her first five fights in the UFC before losing for the first time in the promotion in May, when the long-time contender Ketlen Vieira beat her by unanimous decision.
Montague (8-0) arrived in the UFC in 2025 after a successful spell in the PFL, having won each of her first six professional fights by rear-naked choke. She has won both of her UFC fights on points, against the former title challenger Mayra Bueno Silva and Luana Carolina.
Jiri Prochazka and Navajo Stirling headline the card in a light heavyweight bout. A welterweight contest between Dom Mar Fan (9-3) and Nikolas Motta (15-6, 1 NC) has also been officially added to the event.
