A women’s strawweight bout has been added to UFC Fight Night 114. TUF veteran Randa Markos will take on rising prospect Alexa Grasso at the event.
The UFC’s Spanish website announced the fight earlier today.
Markos (7-4) took a surprise split decision win over former 115lb champion Carla Esparza in her last outing. Prior to that, the Canadian had gone 2-3 in the UFC with wins over Aisling Daly and Jocely-Jones Lybarger; her losses came to Jessica Penne, Karolina Kowalkiewicz, and Cortney Casey.
Grasso (9-1) entered the Ultimate Fighting Championship with a perfect record of 8-0, and extended it to nine with a decision win over Heather Jo Clark in her promotional debut. Following that, the Mexican faced long-time MMA veteran Felice Herrig, but lost the fight via unanimous decision.
UFC Fight Night 114 takes place live from the Arena Ciudad de Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico, on August 5, 2017. The card is set to be headlined by a flyweight bout between Sergio Pettis and Brandon Moreno.
