A women’s bantamweight bout between UFC newcomers Julie Kedzie and Germaine de Randamie has been announced for UFC on Fox 8, according to FoxSports.com.
UFC officials announced the bout on Wednesday. The two were originally set to fight back in September of 2011, but an injury to Kedzie forced the bout’s cancellation.
The card takes place on July 27 at the Key Arena in Seattle, Washington, the same venue that hosted UFC on Fox 5 last December.
Kedzie comes over from Strikeforce to make her UFC debut, bringing a two-fight losing streak with her. She was defeated in her Strikeforce debut in July of 2011 by Alexis Davis, dropping a unanimous decision, and she lost her next bout to Miesha Tate via submission last August.
Like Kedzie, de Randamie is a Strikeforce import, though her career with the promotion was far less tumultuous. The Dutch kickboxer earned two victories in three fights with the San Jose-based promotion.
UFC on Fox 8 currently features a welterweight contest between contenders Jake Ellenberger and Rory MacDonald, and a second welterweight matchup between Robbie Lawler and former Strikeforce champion Tarec Saffiedine has also been confirmed.
