The UFC’s return to Dallas next month appears to have one more fight headed for the lineup.
Irene Aldana (8-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) will take on Lucie Pudilova (8-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in a women’s bantamweight bout. The booking first was reported by Mexican news outlet Milenio, and UFC officials subsequently made a formal announcement of the matchup.
UFC 228 takes place Sept. 8 at American Airlines Center in Dallas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass.
Aldana, from Mexico, got back in the win column in January when she outworked Talita Bernardo at UFC Fight Night 124 in St. Louis. The victory was her first in the UFC after back-to-back decision losses to Leslie Smith and Katlyn Chookagian to open her tenure with the company. She came to the UFC from Invicta FC, where she went 4-1 – with her only loss coming in a vacant bantamweight title fight to Tonya Evinger.
Pudilova dropped her promotional debut by decision to Lina Lansberg in March 2017, which was a rematch from a fight in Sweden 16 months earlier that she also lost. But a few months later, she got her first UFC win with a decision over Ji Yeon Kim.
