UFC Adds Fan vs. Motta and Cavalcanti vs. Montague to Qatar Card

UFC Qatar is just weeks away, and the UFC has announced two more fights for the Fight Night card. The event takes place on November 21, 2026. One is at lightweight and the other at women's bantamweight.

Dom Mar Fan (9-3) meets Nikolas Motta (15-6, 1 no contest) at lightweight. Jacqueline Cavalcanti (10-2) faces Michelle Montague (8-0) at women's bantamweight. Motta vs. Fan was previously reported by Heavy.com. Ag.Fight had earlier revealed Cavalcanti vs. Montague.

Cavalcanti and Montague

Under the UFC's META AI rankings, Cavalcanti is No. 7 and Montague No. 8. Members of the media have them at No. 8 and No. 12, respectively. Cavalcanti is a former LFA star. She is coming off the first loss of her UFC career, against Ketlen Vieira. Montague, from New Zealand, is undefeated both in the UFC, where she is 2-0, and throughout her professional career.

Fan and Motta

Motta will look to bounce back from a loss to Nazim Sadykhov. Fan, a Road to UFC veteran, also wants a return to the win column after losing to Kody Steele in his last fight.
