A women’s bantamweight bout has been added to UFC 185 as Larissa Pacheco will meet Germanine de Randamie on the preliminary card.
UFC officials announced the fight booking on Wednesday.
UFC 185 will come from the American Airlines Center on March 14th and will be headlined by Anthony Pettis defending the UFC lightweight title against Rafael dos Anjos.
Pacheco (10-1) made her UFC debut in September and was submitted by Jessica Andrade at UFC Fight Night 51. Before signing with the UFC, she had won all of her fights by stoppage and six of them came by submission. Randamie (4-3) won her UFC debut in 2013 against Julie Kedzie and lost her next fight in the promotion against Amanda Nunes. The fight against Nunes came in late 2013 and this will be her first fight since that defeat.
