Wednesday Fight Update

 

A meeting of two of the welterweight division's top prospects heads up a trio of bouts made official for upcoming UFC cards in May and June.

At June 4's UFC 199 event in Inglewood, California, England's Tom Breese, winner of three straight in the Octagon, will risk his perfect 10-0 record against local favorite Sean Strickland, who is 4-1 in the UFC thus far and coming off a TKO win over Alex Garcia in February.

Plus, the UFC's first event in the Netherlands on May 8 will see one of the nation's most accomplished competitors, women's bantamweight contender Germaine de Randamie, fight at home for the first time as a UFC fighter against unbeaten newcomer Anna Elmose.

Also added to the UFC Fight Night event in Rotterdam is a bout between welterweight up and comers Leon Edwards and Dominic Waters. Edwards replaces the injured Peter Sobotta.
