The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s upcoming October 26th “Fight Night” card in Manchester, England will feature the first women’s UFC bout to take place in the U.K., as Rosi Sexton will fight Jessica Andrade.

The promotion has announced the match-up and Sexton also tweeted: “It’s official! First women’s UFC fight in UK – me vs @JessicaMMApro; & first time in my career fighting in my home town!”

Sexton (13-3) made her Octagon debut at UFC 161 in June and was handed a unanimous decision defeat by Alexis Davis. Andrade (9-3) made her promotional debut in July at UFC on FOX 8, and was stopped by Liz Carmouche.

UFC Fight Night 30 will be hosted by the Manchester Arena and will feature a middleweight bout between contenders Mark Munoz and Michael Bisping. The card will be broadcast on FOX Sports 2.
