UFC 228 has added a women’s bantamweight bout when Irene Aldana takes on Lucie Pudilova for the September 8th pay per view event, as reported by Milenio.com.
Irene Aldana will enter the contest with an 8-4 professional record and look to build her UFC record up to 2-2 at the close of this contest. In Aldana’s last bout, she earned a unanimous decision victory over Talita Bernardo at UFC Fight Night: Stephens vs. Choi in January. The former Invicta bantamweight title challenger is currently the #12 ranked bantamweight in the world, with her opponent, Lucie Pudilova only one spot behind her at #13.
Lucie Pudilova is currently on a two-fight win streak, coming off of victories over Ji Yeon Kim and Sarah Moras, both via unanimous decision. Pudilova is currently 8-2 in her professional career and 2-1 in the UFC, with her loss in the promotion coming at the hands of Lina Lansberg in Pudilova’s promotional debut. With a victory over #12 Aldana and a 3-1 record in the company, Pudilova will hope to have an argument for cracking the top 10 in a very much open bantamweight division.
