Aisling Daly was in the Ultimate Fighter house the last time the UFC went to her home of Dublin, Ireland, but she'll get to take part in the next card there.
The UFC announced early Monday morning that Daly will face Ericka Almeida at UFC Fight Night 76, which hits Dublin on Oct. 24.
Daly, a 21-fight veteran of the sport, has split her two fights in the organization thus far. She submitted Alex Chambers in her UFC debut out of The Ultimate Fighter 20, but dropped a decision to Randa Markos in her second bout this past April.
Now she returns home to Ireland to face Almeida, who suffered her first career defeat in May against Juliana Lima. That came in her UFC debut in Brazil, and snapped a seven fight winning streak.
UFC Fight Night 76 will be the UFC's third ever event in Dublin, and airs live on UFC Fight Pass with a headlining lightweight bout between Joseph Duffy and Dustin Poirier.
