Valerie Letourneau and Joanne Calderwood will make a little promotional history when they square off at UFC Fight Night Ottawa.
UFC officials announced on Thursday that the bout will be the first female 125-pound affair contested inside the Octagon. Both Letourneau and Calderwood normally compete at strawweight, but it is unclear if the UFC is going to add the women’s flyweight division on a permanent basis.
UFC Fight Night takes place on June 18 at the TD Place in Ottawa, Ontario Canada and is headlined by a welterweight showdown between Rory MacDonald and Stephen Thompson.
