Top Flyweights will run it back in “Rain City.”
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Flyweight champion Alexa Grasso is set to rematch No. 5-ranked contender Maycee Barber at UFC Seattle on Sat., March 28, 2026, inside Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington.
Twitter user RealKevinK was first to report the booking.
Barber (15-2) has been vocal about wanting the rematch for years, and she finally gets her chance. The 27-year-old is coming off a unanimous decision win over Karine Silva at UFC 323 and currently rides a seven-fight winning streak, firmly cementing herself as a top contender in the division.
However, Barber’s momentum has not come without setbacks. Last May, she was scheduled to headline her first UFC event against Erin Blanchfield in a title eliminator, but the bout fell apart after Barber missed weight and later suffered a seizure backstage just minutes before the fight, forcing her withdrawal and hospitalization. Prior to that, she was sidelined for months after a severe case of pneumonia left her hospitalized for 11 days and forced her out of a planned main event against Rose Namajunas.
Now healthy, Barber appears to be just one — maybe two — wins away from finally competing for UFC gold.
Grasso (16-5-1), meanwhile, enters the rematch on the first two-fight losing streak of her career. She most recently dropped a forgettable unanimous decision to Natalia Silva at UFC 315, following the loss of her Flyweight title to Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 306.
