Alexa Grasso vs. Randa Markos added to UFC Mexico City

Another Mexican fighter has been added to the UFC Fight Night card in the country’s capital in August.

As expected, the UFC’s return to Mexico City is taking on a local flavor. The August Fight Night event has placed another Mexican national to the card, with the addition of a women’s strawweight bout between Alexa Grasso and Randa Markos. The promotion confirmed the bout yesterday.

Grasso (9-1, 1-1 UFC) competed in her first UFC fight in Arena Mexico, defeating Heather Jo Clark by decision. She dropped the first bout of her career in her next bout, to Felice Herrig by decision in February.

Markos (7-4, 3-3 UFC) is coming off the biggest win of her career, a split decision victory over former champion Carla Esparza in February. The TUF 20 alum has alternated losses and wins in each of her six UFC bouts to date.

UFC Fight Night 114 goes down on August 5th in Arena Mexico, and is headlined by a flyweight fight between Sergio Pettis and Brandon Moreno. Rashad Evans will also compete on the card against Sam Alvey.
