A women’s bantamweight bout between Tonya Evinger and Lina Lansberg is the latest addition to June’s UFC on ESPN+ 10 lineup.
UFC officials today announced the bout between Evinger (19-7 MMA, 0-2 UFC) and Lansberg (8-4 MMA, 2-3 UFC).
UFC on ESPN+ 10 takes place June 1 at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. The entire card streams on ESPN+.
Evinger, No. 7 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie MMA women’s bantamweight rankings, has not had the UFC run she’s expected after a long run as Invicta FC champion. She dropped her promotional debut in a featherweight title fight to Cris Cyborg, suffered a serious knee injury that required surgery and finally returned at UFC 229 in October only to be on the receiving end of a first-round TKO loss to Aspen Ladd.
She has a chance to turn things around in her third octagon appearance, but she will have to go into enemy territory to make it happen. Lansberg, an honorable mention in the rankings, is from Sweden and will surely be motivated to get a big win after losing a unanimous decision to Yana Kunitskaya on the same UFC 229 card in October.
The latest UFC on ESPN+ 10 card now includes:
- Alexander Gustafsson vs. Anthony Smith
- Ilir Latifi vs. Volkan Oezdemir
- Jimi Manuwa vs. Aleksandar Rakic
- Makwan Amirkhani vs. Chris Fishgold
- Nick Hein vs. Luigi Vendramini
- Stevie Ray vs. Leonardo Santos
