“The Iron Lady” is about to have her mettle tested by an undefeated foe.
Officials announced Wednesday that Germaine de Randamie will fight Aspen Ladd in the bantamweight main event of UFC Sacramento on July 13. The matchup was first reported by MMA Junkie.
De Randamie, 35, has not lost since being defeated by Amanda Nunes back in November 2013, though she has fought sporadically since then. She has won four straight, including a unanimous decision win over Holly Holm at UFC 208 to become the promotion’s inaugural women’s featherweight champion (she was later stripped of the title when she refused to fight Cris Cyborg) and a unanimous decision win over Raquel Pennington in her return to 135 pounds last November.
