A strawweight clash pitting Felice Herrig against Karolina Kowalkiewicz is set for UFC 223.
Herrig confirmed the pairing via Instagram following reports from multiple outlets. UFC 223 takes place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., on April 7 and is headlined by a lightweight championship clash between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Herrig enters the matchup on a four-fight winning streak. Most recently, the Team Curran representative garnered a split verdict over Cortney Casey-Sanchez at UFC 218 on Dec. 2. “Lil Bulldog” has also bested Justine Kish, Alexa Grasso and Kailin Curran during her current tear.
