Liz Carmouche vs. Jessica Andrade added to UFC on FOX 8 in Seattle

Liz Carmouche will continue to add to her list of UFC firsts, and now she has a new opponent to do it against.

Carmouche (8-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will meet Jessica Andrade (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) this summer at UFC on FOX 8. After being part of the first women’s fight in UFC history, she’ll now be involved in the first women’s fight on the FOX network. Carmouche was scheduled to fight Miesha Tate on the card before Tate was pulled to coach on Season 18 of “The Ultimate Fighter.”

Carmouche alluded to the fight on her Twitter account. The matchup was reported by MMA Fighting.

UFC on FOX 8 takes place July 27 at Seattle’s KeyArena. The evening’s main card, including a flyweight title fight between Demetrious Johnson and John Moraga, airs on FOX following prelims on FX and Facebook.

Carmouche in February made her UFC debut by challenging Ronda Rousey for the UFC’s women’s bantamweight title. She lost by first-round arm bar, becoming Rousey’s latest victim of the move she’s famous for. Prior to that, she had a pair of wins under the Invicta FC banner with stoppages of Ashleigh Curry and Kaitlin Young. Carmouche started her career 6-0 before Strikeforce losses to Marloes Coenen and Sarah Kaufman.

Andrade, from Brazil, has won back-to-back fights in 2013 by submission after a loss in December to Jennifer Maia. The 21-year-old won seven of her first eight bouts before the Maia loss. She went 5-2 in a busy 2012.
