The latest addition to UFC 185 in Dallas this March comes in the women's bantamweight division, as the UFC announced on Wednesday that Germaine de Randamie will take on Larissa Pacheco on the card.
When the card happens, it will have been 16 months since de Randamie last appeared in the Octagon. The 30-year-old made a successful UFC debut in 2013, defeating Julie Kedzie by split decision, but she lost by TKO to Amanda Nunes in her last appearance in November of 2013.
She'll now take on a fighter ten years her junior in Pacheco, who hopes to get her first win in the Octagon after suffering her first career loss in her September debut. That came by submission against Jessica Andrade, halting the ten-fight winning streak that kicked off her career.
UFC 185 hits pay-per-view on March 14, headlined by the UFC Lightweight Championship bout between Anthony Pettis and Rafael dos Anjos.
