Germaine de Randamie
will square off against Octagon newcomer
Anna Elmose
at
UFC Fight Night Rotterdam
on May 8.
Promotion officials announced the bantamweight bout on Wednesday. Additionally,
Leon Edwards
will replace the injured
Peter Sobotta
and face
Dominic Waters
in a welterweight bout on the card. UFC Fight Night takes place at Ahoy Rotterdam in the Netherlands and is headlined by a heavyweight showdown between
Alistair Overeem
and
Andrei Arlovski
.
De Randamie has won two of her three promotional appearances, most recently besting
Larissa Pacheco
via second-round TKO at UFC 185 in March 2015. The 31-year-old Netherlands native is 5-3 as a professional overall.
Copenhagen, Denmark’s Elmose is unbeaten in three outings, with all of her wins coming via knockout or technical knockout. Elmose was originally slated to face
Stephanie Page
at Cage Warriors Fighting Championship 75 on April 15, but those plans have apparently changed.
Edwards is 2-2 in the Octagon, including an eight-second knockout of
Seth Baczynski
at UFC Fight Night “Gonzaga vs. Cro Cop 2” last April. Most recently, the 24-year-old Englishman dropped a three-round verdict to
Kamaru Usman
at UFC on Fox 17.
