Dione Barbosa meets debuting Anna Melisano on a 3-2 UFC record across five appearances. The flyweight is coming off a majority-decision win over Melissa Gatto in April, a result that steadied her Octagon run. Her recent form has swung between wins and losses: the Gatto victory followed a unanimous-decision loss to Karine Silva in August 2025, and before that she submitted Diana Belbita in April 2025. A unanimous-decision loss to Miranda Maverick in July 2024 sits earlier on her sheet. A grappler who hunts submissions, Barbosa brings the clear experience edge into a matchup with a UFC newcomer. A win over a debutant would give her consecutive victories for the first time in this stretch. She fights on the Oklahoma City card.
