A women’s strawweight division encounter has been added to the UFC Fight Night Sydney Card as Alex Chambers is going to be in action against Nadia Kassem.
MMA DNA was the first to report the fight.
Chambers (5-3-0) has won just one of three fights under the UFC banner, with that lone win coming over Kailin Curran at UFC Fight Night 65. Chambers hasn’t competed in over two years, with her last fight being a loss to Paige VanZant at UFC 191. Chambers also competed on the UFC Ultimate Fighter 20, suffering a defeat to Rose Namajunas in the opening round of the tournament.
