Felice Herris is expected to make her long awaited return to action against Virna Jandiroba at UFC 252 on Aug. 15.
Multiple sources confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting on Thursday following an initial report from ESPN.
The fight will serve as Herrig’s first action since 2018 when she lost a unanimous decision to Michelle Waterson at UFC 229. Herrig had her next fight scheduled in June 2019 but she was forced out after suffering a torn ACL in training.
Following knee surgery, Herrig took several months to recover before revealing just recently that she was back in training to prepare for her return.
