Claudia Gadelha vs. Randa Markos set for UFC 239

A perennial title contender will square off with a fighter looking to establish herself on the short list for a strawweight title shot once and for all at UFC 239.

Claudia Gadelha will meet Randa Markos at the July 6 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the UFC announced Friday.

Gadelha (16-4 MMA; 5-4 UFC) went on a run in which she won three out of four fights from 2016-18. But she stumbled in her most recent bout, losing a unanimous decision to Nina Ansaroff at UFC 231, so she’s looking to regain her momentum.

Markos (9-6-1 MMA; 5-5-1 UFC) is building some real momentum. She’s lost just once in her past four, going 2-1-1, and in her most recent fight, the Canadian earned a Performance of the Night bonus for her March 23 win over Angela Hill.

UFC 239 will be headlined by Jon Jones’ light heavyweight title defense against Thiago Santos.

With the addition to the card, the UFC 239 lineup currently includes:

  • Champ Jon Jones vs. Thiago Santos – for light heavyweight title
  • Champ Amanda Nunes vs. Holly Holm – for women’s featherweight title
  • Ben Askren vs. Jorge Masvidal
  • Junior Dos Santos vs. Francis Ngannou
  • Jan Blachowicz vs. Luke Rockhold
  • Michael Chiesa vs. Diego Sanchez
  • Jack Marshman vs. Edmen Shahbazyan
  • Sean O’Malley vs. Marlon Vera
  • Claudia Gadelha vs. Randa Markos
