History will be made at UFC Fight Night 89, as Joanne Calderwood takes on Valerie Letourneau in the first-ever female flyweight contest.
Set for June 18 from The Arena at TD Place in Ottawa, the card features a main event between Rory MacDonald and Stephen Thompson.
Calderwood (10-1) has been fighting in the strawweight division, going 2-1 since signing with the UFC. She scored a recent victory over Cortney Casey and has also topped Seo Hee Ham.
Letourneau (8-4) won three of four, but was unsuccessful in her bout with UFC champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk. She owns UFC wins over Elizabeth Phillips, Jessica Rakoczy and Maryna Moroz – who defeated Calderwood.
The UFC is still looking into plans to possibly create a female flyweight division.
