A women’s bantamweight and strawweight matchup have been agreed on for the UFC’s return to Washington, D.C on December 7th.
MMA Fighting first reported the matchups. Top bantamweight Aspen Ladd is scheduled to take on Yana Kunitskaya, whilst strawweights Claudia Gadelha and Cynthia Calvillo will also meet on the card.
Ladd (8-1) suffered the first loss of her MMA career when she was knocked out in 16-seconds by Germaine De Randamie last month, despite the stoppage being controversial. The 24-year-old picked up performance bonus wins in her fights before that, winning a tough fought decision against Sijara Eubanks and stopping Tonya Evinger at UFC 229 last year.
