Claudia Gadelha vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz announced for UFC 212

Claudia Gadelha and Karolina Kowalkiewicz are officially set to meet in Brazil. The UFC announced on Monday that the pair of strawweight contenders will collide in the UFC's upcoming pay-per-view event at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena on June 3.

Gadelha (14-2) enters the fight coming off an unanimous decision victory over Courtney Casey in November, bouncing back to the winning column after losing to 115-pound champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk in July.

Kowalkiewicz (10-1), on the other hand, looks to get back on track after losing to Jedrzejczyk in a title fight at UFC 205.
