Scheduled to face Vieira
Chiasson will take on Ketlen Vieira in a bantamweight bout at UFC TBA on Feb. 22, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Chiasson will look to make it three straight victories after defeating Pannie Kianzad in March and Myra Bueno Silva in June. Her opponent Vieira also has eight career UFC wins, but is coming off a loss to Kayla Harrison and will be hungry to get back on the winning side of the octagon.

Rebounds following slow start
Chiasson defeated Mayra Bueno Silva via TKO (doctor's stoppage) at 1:58 of Round 2 at UFC 303 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It wasn't pretty, but Chiasson will certainly take it in what went off as a pick 'em fight. Macy had a really poor opening frame, absorbing far too much damage from an opponent with below-average striking. Yet, she pushed forward for an early Round 2 takedown and got to mount. Then, she blasted Bueno Silva with an elbow that immediately opened up a massive gash and eventually caused the doctor to stop the fight. It would also go on to earn her a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus, one of four awarded on the evening. Set to turn 33 years of age in less than a month, Chiasson has won back-to-back fights but is still just 3-2 in her past five bouts. There's no real reason to think any sort of prolonged winning streak is forthcoming here.

Up against ex-title challenger
Chiasson is scheduled to compete against Mayra Bueno Silva in a bantamweight fight at UFC 303 in Paradise on June 29, per the UFC's announcement Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Chiasson's next opponent is the woman Raquel Pennington defeated to become bantamweight champion. Chiasson defeating Bueno Silva would likely elevate her to the division's top five in the rankings.

Again submits Pannie Kianzad
Chiasson defeated Pannie Kianzad via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:54 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Chiasson continues her ownership of Kianzad, submitting her for a second time via rear-naked choke. Macy is not strong in the stand-up and really struggles in prolonged striking exchanges, but she's big and physical and has consistently displayed an ability to defeat opponents such as Kianzad who don't bring much to the table in terms of grappling. The finish would also go on to earn her a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Chiasson will be 33 years of age in late-July and has zero history of defeating better competition over the course of her career, so it's highly unlikely a winning streak is forthcoming. Macy has alternated wins and losses in her last five bouts dating back to March 2021.
