The UFC has a new women’s bantamweight on its roster, and she’ll make her promotional debut in April.
Cindy Dandois (8-2, 0-0 UFC) has signed with the promotion and will fight former title challenger Alexis Davis (17-7 MMA, 4-2 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 108. UFC officials announced the new booking today.
UFC Fight Night 108 takes place April 22 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. The card airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. In the main event, featherweight Cub Swanson takes on Conor McGregor teammate and training partner Artem Lobov.
Davis started her UFC career a perfect 3-0, giving her a five-fight winning streak when she challenged then-champ Ronda Rousey for the women’s bantamweight title at UFC 175 in July 2014. But Rousey ripped through her for a 16-second knockout.
Davis bounced back with an armbar submission of Sarah Kaufman at UFC 186 in April 2015 in Montreal, but then was submitted by Sara McMann this past December at the TUF 24 Finale, giving her losses in two of her past three fights.
