A pair of fights have been added to the growing UFC 171 card as Julianna Pena faces Jessica Andrade and Dennis Bermudez faces Jim Hettes. Pena was the first ever female champion in the history of the UFC Ultimate Fighter, defeating Jessica Rakoczy in the finals. Andrade will be looking to build on the momentum of her first UFC win, which came over Rosi Sexton at UFC Fight Night 30.
Bermudez will enter the fight riding a five fight winning streak, last defeating Steve Siler at UFC Fights For The Troops III. Hettes has won three of four under the UFC banner, with a notable victory coming over Nam Phan at UFC 141. UFC 171 takes place on March 15th from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas with Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler headlining.
