Ramona Pascual will be making her second appearance in the octagon at UFC 275. The Hong Konger will be dropping down to bantamweight to take on Joselyne Edwards at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

Pascual (6-3) hasn’t fought at 135lbs since 2019. She was handed a last minute opportunity to make her debut for the promotion at UFC Vegas 49 and was allowed to compete at featherweight on the occasion.

But the UFC does not make a habit of putting on women’s featherweight fights so the 33 year old is dropping down a division. She takes on Edwards (10-4) who beat Yanan Wu at Fight Island 7.

Title fights

As previously announced the event will feature two title bouts with Glover Teixeira defending his light heavyweight title against Jiří Procházka in the main event. The Brazilian won the title at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi last year while the Czech was the Rizin 205lbs champion.

In the co-main event Valentina Shevchenko will make her seventh defense of her UFC flyweight title and look to extend her eight-fight win streak. She has been matched with Taila Santos who earned her title shot with four straight wins.

Strawweight rematch

A strawweight rematch has been added to the UFC 275 card. Weili Zhang and Joanna Jędrzejczyk will be running back one of the best women’s fights of all time at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on June 12th.

Zhang will be looking to bounce back after successive defeats. Both came in title fights against Rose Namajunas and the most recent was a highly debatable split decision.

Jędrzejczyk has not fought since that five rounder with Zhang at UFC 248 in 2020. She lost by split decision but picked up a $100,00 USD bonus for her efforts.

Best of the rest

Also on the card former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker takes on Marvin Vettori. Also at middleweight Brendan Allen meets Jacob Malkoun.

In the strawweight division Silvana Gómez Juárez goes up against Na Liang. Mike Mathetha faces Orion Cosce in a welterweight bout.

Meanwhile Kyung Ho Kang has a new opponent at UFC 275. The Korean bantamweight had originally been scheduled to face Saimon Oliveira but that bout appears to have been scrapped and instead he will be taking on hard hitting Mongolian Danaa Batgerel.

The event will be a pay per view and looks set to take place in the early hours of Sunday morning in Singapore. The start time is listed as 6am local time.
