Big changes are coming to UFC BJJ 8! Just over a week out from the event, the co-main event has been reshuffled after former ADCC champion Bianca Basilio was forced to withdraw due to surgery. That means reigning bantamweight queen Cassia Moura has a new challenger stepping up on short notice: Sabrina Gondim.

Gondim, 27, is no stranger to high-level competition. She recently earned a bronze medal at the 2026 IBJJF Pans, with her only loss coming against pound-for-pound standout Sarah Galvao. But stepping in against a champion like Moura with little prep time is a tall order. Moura has been unstoppable lately, capturing the bantamweight title at UFC BJJ 6 by defeating ADCC champ Ffion Davies. Before that, she secured her second IBJJF No Gi World title—competing four weight classes up at heavyweight. Talk about versatility.

The main event features the promotion’s biggest star, Mikey Musumeci, though the matchup has raised some eyebrows. After beating an IBJJF world champion in his last title defense, Musumeci now faces Kevin Dantzler—a talented pro grappler who has yet to win a major title and mostly competes on smaller stages. Critics have once again questioned UFC BJJ’s matchmaking, but the show must go on.

Rounding out the card are fan favorites like William Tackett and Andy Varela in separate bouts, plus an exciting clash between entertaining grapplers Landon Elmore and Keith Krikorian. Here’s the full lineup for UFC BJJ 8:

Whether you’re a die-hard BJJ fan or just love the thrill of competition, this card promises action from start to finish. Stay tuned for more updates as fight night approaches!
