The lineup for UFC 335 in December continues to grow thanks to a postponement.

Before closing out the year at home in ‘Sin City’, the Octagon is scheduled to return to the Middle East for UFC Fight Night events in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Two fighters who were originally set to head to Doha have been diverted to Las Vegas, with Jacqueline Cavalcanti’s clash with Michelle Montague rescheduled.

Las Vegas will be the location for the UFC’s final event of 2026, as the promotion’s schedule wraps up with a highly anticipated numbered event at the T-Mobile Arena.

Big names will appear at the top of the card, with Charles Oliveira defending his BMF title against Diego Lopes in the UFC 335 main event after Alex Pereira’s second heavyweight outing against Sergei Pavlovich.

Matchups are still being added to the undercard, and among the latest additions is a delayed bantamweight contest that was originally set to take place in late November.

Cavalcanti’s clash with Montague was to serve as the only women’s fight at UFC Qatar, which is now set to move forward with an all-male lineup on November 21.

It’s unclear why the UFC pushed back the fight. News of the delay was revealed by Luana Santos and confirmed on X by Marcel Dorff.

Portugal’s Cavalcanti won her first five fights in the UFC after being signed following title success in LFA three years ago.

The No. 6-ranked contender in the Meta UFC women’s bantamweight rankings lost for the first time inside the Octagon against Ketlen Vieira this past May.

While she looks to rebound at UFC 335 on December 12, Montague will hope to stay undefeated in pro MMA.

The 8-0 former PFL standout has won two UFC fights via unanimous decision so far, but her first six triumphs in the sport all came via rear-naked choke.

Both Cavalcanti and Montague beat ex-title challenger Mayra Bueno Santos in their last wins.
