Avila will face Julija
Stoliarenko in a bantamweight contest at a UFC card on March

outing when she dropped a unanimous decision to Sijara

Nicco
Montano and Marion
Reneau on the regional scene.
A native of Kaunas, Lithuania, Stoliarenko fell to Yana
Kunitskaya via unanimous decision in her second Octagon
appearance at UFC Fight Night 174 on Aug. 8. Her debut, a
split-decision setback against Leah Letson
at “The Ultimate Fighter 28” finale, came nearly two years earlier.
The 27-year-old had won five straight bouts in various
organizations before running into Kunitskaya.
