The UFC has added a key women’s bantamweight bout to the lineup of UFC Fight Night 113. The UFC has announced that a fight between Lina Lansberg (7-2) and Leslie Smith (9-7-1) has been added to the event.

Lansberg went 6-1 to open her career, which eventually led to her signing a contract with the UFC. However, in her promotional debut, it went as bad as it possibly could as she had the task to fight Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino in a 140-pound catchweight fight, which saw “Cyborg” win by second-round TKO. Following that fight, Lansberg rebounded in March with a decision over Lucie Pudilova.

On the flip side, Smith, who is a former Invicta FC title challenger, has alternated wins and losses during her time in the UFC. She currently on a 2-1 run with victories over Rin Nakai and Irene Aldana with a loss to “Cyborg.”

UFC Fight Night 113 takes place Sunday, July 16th at SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. The prelims will air on both UFC Fight Pass and FOX Sports 1 while the main card will air on FOX Sports.
