Mayra Bueno Silva is returning to the women's flyweight division to face Jasmine Jasudavicius at February's UFC event in Saudi Arabia.

Two fights removed from fighting for the vacant women's bantamweight title, Bueno Silva (10-4-1 MMA, 5-4-1 UFC) will make her way back down to 125 pounds for a three-round clash with Jasudavicius (12-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) at UFC Fight Night: Riyadh on Feb. 1 at The Venue. Broadcast plans for the card have yet to be announced.

The UFC announced the matchup on Monday.

Bueno Silva, 33, will attempt to snap a three-fight winless skid. Her past two appearances include a unanimous decision defeat to Raquel Pennington in January, as well as a doctor's stoppage TKO defeat to Macy Chiasson at UFC 303 in June.

Jasudavicius, 35, has the chance to put a notable name on her resume after winning five of her past six bouts, including three straight. The Canadian is coming off a third-round submission of Ariane Lipski at UFC Fight Night 246 this month.

The latest UFC Fight Night: Riyadh card now includes:

  • Shara Magomedov vs. Michael Page

  • Ikram Aliskerov vs. Andre Muniz

  • Sergei Pavlovich vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik

  • Hamdy Abdelwahab vs. Jamal Pogues

  • Mayra Bueno Silva vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius
