Sabina Mazo is moving up in weight.

 

The 23-year-old Colombian is going to the bantamweight division for her next fight, as she takes on former UFC 135-pound title challenger Alexis Davis at the UFC Fight Night card on Feb. 27.

 

MMA Junkie confirmed the news with sources following a report by Milenio. Additionally, sources told MMA Junkie this is not necessarily a permanent move, and that she may take flyweight bouts again in the future.

 

Mazo (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) is coming off a submission win over Justine Kish in September. it was her first finish in her UFC stint. The former LFA flyweight champion is currently on a three-fight winning streak.

 

On the other hand, Davis (19-10 MMA, 6-5 UFC) is looking for her first win since 2017. The 29-fight veteran is on a three-fight losing streak. Davis, who lost to then-champion Ronda Rousey in 2014, is  2-3 in her past five trips to the octagon.
