Multiple people with knowledge of the booking confirmed the news to MMA Fighting following a report from Ag. Fight.

UFC 319 will be headlined by a middleweight showdown between champion Dricus Du Plessis and undefeated sensation Khamzat Chimaev.

Andrade (26-14) won her past two bouts at strawweight, knocking out Mackenzie Dern and then claiming a decision against Marina Rodriguez, but enters UFC 319 off of back-to-back defeats to Natalia Silva and Jasmine Jasudavicius at flyweight.
