UFC has announced a second title fight for the UFC 185 card in Dallas, Texas in March, as Carla Esparza will make the first defense of her UFC Strawweight Championship.
Esparza (10-2, 1-0 UFC) won the UFC 115 pound Women’s Championship after running through the tournament on the most recent season of The Ultimate Fighter, and defeating Rose Namajunas via submission in the TUF 20 Finale back in December.
The Women’s MMA veteran will face a tough test in her first title defense, as Esparza will be standing across the Octagon from undefeated UFC Women’s Strawweight number one ranked contender Joanna Jedrzejczyk (8-0, 2-0 UFC).
Esparza-Jedrzejczyk joins Anthony Pettis vs. Rafael dos Anjos for the UFC Lightweight Championship, as one of two title fight co-main events for the pay-per-view event.
UFC 185 is scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 14th from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
