Hailey Cowan will reportedly make her debut walk to the octagon at UFC Vegas 72 against undefeated LFA champion Jamey-Lyn Horth on April 29. MMA journalist Marcel Dorff tweeted the breaking news, writing:
"Hailey Cowan (7-2) got a new fight booked. She takes on undefeated LFA champion Jamey-Lyn Horth (5-0) on April 29th at #UFCVegas72."
'All Hail' secured her first contract with the UFC after her successful outing on Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) 2022 (Episode #4), where she defeated Claudia Leite via decision. With seven wins in her last eight fights and a pro-MMA record of 7-2, the Invicta and LFA alumni will undoubtedly be one to look out for.

While 'All Hail' was originally meant to face fellow LFA veteran Tamires Vidal at UFC San Antonio this weekend, Vidal was forced to pull out of the bout due to medical issues. This marked the second time Cowan had her UFC debut postponed after a health issue forced her to cancel her first scheduled bout against Ailin Perez.
Hailey Cowan is coming off a split-decision win over Claudia Leite in August 2022 and is currently riding a two-fight win streak. Her overall record stands at 7-2.
Meanwhile, her new opponent, Jamey-Lyn Horth, will also make her UFC debut at UFC Vegas 72. The Canadian flyweight standout signed with the promotion earlier this month. The undefeated 32-year-old fighter is riding a five-fight win streak with a perfect 5-0 record.
