A pivotal strawweight bout between the surging Paige VanZant (6-1) and TUF 20 alum Joanne Calderwood (10-1) will headline the first of three consecutive cards in Las Vegas beginning December 10th through December 12th.
UFC officials announced the bout, which will headline the first United States card in history to be aired exclusively on UFC Fight Pass, earlier today. The TUF 22 season finale, headlined by featherweights Chad Mendes and Frankie Edgar, will take place on the following day while UFC 194 ‘Aldo vs. McGregor’ will headline the weekend on Saturday night.
VanZant extended her win streak to four with a dominant win over Alex Chambers to kick off UFC 191 earlier this month.
