SCOTLAND'S Joanne Calderwood will face Bec Rawlings in a flyweight bout at UFC Fight Night 121 in Sydney this November.
The fight was confirmed on Wednesday morning as part of the card for the event on November 18/19 in Australia and the bout will be at flyweight (125lbs) rather than strawweight.
Calderwood failed to take advantage of performing the home crowd as she fell to defeat against Cynthia Calvillo by unanimous decision at UFC Glasgow last month.
The 30-year-old holds an 11-3 record but is coming off two consecutive losses, a run she will look to end in Sydney.
Australian Rawlings (7-6) triumphed against Valerie Letourneau at 125lbs last year through a third round technical knockout, but is also coming off two straight defeats.
A bout between Mark Hunt and Marcin Tybura will headline UFC Fight Night 121.
