Heather Jo Clark vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz added to UFC Fight Night 87 in Rotterdam

A strawweight bout between Heather Jo Clark (7-4 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Karolina Kowalkiewicz (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) is the latest addition to May’s UFC Fight Night 87 lineup.

UFC officials today announced the bout.

UFC Fight Night 87 takes place May 8 at Ahoy Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The card is expected to air on FOX Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

The bout order hasn’t been finalized.

Clark, a 35-year-old XFC and Bellator vet, fights for the first time since her stint on “The Ultimate Fighter 20,” where she lost to Felice Herring in the opening round of the 2014 reality-show tournament. However, on the undercard of the show’s live finale, she trained and fought through knee injuries, and she picked up a decision victory over Bec Rawlings. She spent 2015 recovering from her injuries.

She now meets Kowalkiewicz, who’s ranked No. 9 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA strawweight rankings. The 30-year-old Polish fighter recently made her UFC debut and picked up a decision victory over Randa Markos. The former flyweight and ex-KSW champ is now 8-0 with five decisions since her 2012 pro debut.
