Former UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk has her next fight lined up under the UFC banner inside the Octagon.

She is slated to take part in her first non-title UFC bout since December 2014 as she will take on fellow strawweight contender Tecia Torres at the upcoming UFC on FOX 30 event. The news was first reported by ESPN.

Jedrzejczyk is coming off of back-to-back losses. She has fought current UFC women’s strawweight champion Rose Namajunas twice.

Their first fight went down in November at UFC 217 where Namajunas won with a first-round knockout and their second fight went down at the UFC 223 pay-per-view event in April that saw Namajunas win by decision.

On the flip side, Torres is also looking to get back into the win column by accepting this fight as she snapped a three fight winning streak by suffering a unanimous decision to Jessica Andrade in a crucial title eliminator at UFC on FOX 28 in February.

UFC on FOX 30 is set to take place on July 28 at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

The main card will air on FOX while the preliminary card will be split broadcasted on FOX at and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.

The co-headliner will see Jeremy Stephens against former featherweight champion Jose Aldo. The promotion has yet to announce a main event for the show. Here is the updated card:

Jose Aldo vs. Jeremy Stephens
Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Tecia Torres
Katlyn Chookagian vs. Alexis Davis
Nina Ansaroff vs. Randa Markos
Matheus Nicolau vs. Dustin Ortiz
Gadzhimurad Antigulov vs. Ion Cutelaba
Austin Arnett vs. Hakeem Dawodu
Jordan Mein vs. Alex Morono
John Makdessi vs. Ross Pearson
Kajan Johnson vs. Islam Makhachev

Former WEC and UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo nearly hung up his gloves for good after his second TKO loss to current champion Max Holloway.

Holloway has defeated Aldo twice in a row by TKO, most recently at lasts December’s UFC 218, and the second time almost pushed Aldo to retirement.

Aldo discussed his thoughts following UFC 218 and why he’s continuing to fight as he prepares for his first non-title fight in nearly a decade (via MMA Fighting):

”After the fight, I took some time for myself, to think and stay with my family. Two weeks later, I met with my coaches, sat down with everyone. I asked what they thought, if it was time to stop or not. We decided to move forward. The next day I was in the gym.”

”I think I still have much wood to burn, full capacity to go there and fight for the title again. I still have four fights left in the contract. I want to do at least three this year. I want to get to the third fighting for the title, be champion again. Then, in the future, I think about retiring or not.”

Aldo entered the UFC and was immediately crowned as champion of the 145-pound division after the UFC bought and absorbed the WEC back in 2010. Aldo had been featherweight champion in the WEC and managed to reign over the weight class for six years in total.

Aldo lost his belt following a 13-second knockout loss at the hands of rival Conor McGregor at UFC 194 but managed to recapture the interim featherweight title after defeating Frankie Edgar for a second time at UFC 200.

Aldo has gone winless since the Edgar rematch and has now lost three of his last four fights by some form of knockout.

Thankfully, Aldo found his motivation to fight again after meeting with his team and coaches and is now set to fight Jeremy “Lil Heathen” Stephens in his first non-title fight in years.

Aldo and Stephens will meet in the co-main event of UFC on FOX 30 on July 28 in Calgary.

The UFC has announced a new event and a big featherweight bout to go along with it.

The promotion confirmed to the Calgary Sun that the company would be returning to Calgary for a UFC on FOX card.

This marks the first event in the city since UFC 149. UFC on FOX 30 is set to take place on July 28 at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

The main card will air on FOX while the preliminary card will be split broadcasted on FOX at and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.

Although the co-main event is set, the promotion is still working on booking a headlining fight.

Switching to the co-headliner, it will see Jeremy Stephens against former featherweight champion Jose Aldo.

Aldo was on top of the featherweight division for several years until he lost the featherweight belt to Conor McGregor at UFC 194 in 2015.

Despite regaining the belt the following year after it was vacated, he lost it again to current champion Max Holloway.

On the flip side, Stephens is coming off back-to-back knockout victories over Josh Emmett and Dooho Choi.

The expectation is that if he can pick up a win over Aldo at this show, then he could be in the running to fight the winner of July’s title fight between Holloway and Brian Ortega.

“We’ve been trying for the last few years, and because of a number of reasons we just couldn’t make the date happen,” said David Shaw, senior vice-president of international and content for the UFC. “It came down to the fact that we just needed to come. We needed to get back to Calgary.

“We’ve been doing three shows in Canada for the last few years, but to get back to Calgary is very important because we know there’s a huge fanbase. Our numbers, from a pay-per-view perspective, from a social media perspective, from a viewership perspective and even the number of bars and restaurants that show our fights, Alberta is a tier-one area . . . and Calgary leads the way.”

“Having Aldo, that wasn’t a fluke,” Shaw said. “Getting arguably the best featherweight of all time, one of the best champions and pound-for-pound fighters of all time on this card, that was calculated because he couldn’t come last time, so we wanted to give back to fans.”
