The UFC has a busy schedule of events planned for the remainder of 2014 as it prepares for the launch of the newly formed UFC women’s strawweight division, but the female bantamweights have not been forgotten. Three 135-pound women’s bouts, including an intriguing matchup between Germaine de Randamie and Milana Dudieva at UFC 174, were recently confirmed for the UFC’s summer schedule. The event takes place June 14 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Multi-time muay Thai world champion de Randamie (4-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) is no stranger to big fights, and the standout striker has already battled some of MMA’s top female talent during her seven-fight career. Following a 2-1 run in Strikeforce, de Randamie made her octagon debut this past July and eked out a split-decision win over veteran Julie Kedzie at UFC on FOX 8. De Randamie returned to action in November and faced off against Amanda Nunes, but the Brazilian rising star’s ground and pound propelled her to a first-round TKO win.
