The promotion announced the bout on Thursday. UFC on Fox 20 takes
place at the United Center in Chicago on July 23. The evening’s
main card airs on the Fox Network. A headliner for the event has
not been announced.
Herrig hasn’t competed since April 2015, when she suffered a
unanimous decision loss to Paige
VanZant at UFC Fox 15. The former Bellator MMA talent debuted
in the Octagon with a second-round submission of Lisa Ellis at
“The Ultimate Fighter 20” finale.
After falling to VanZant and Alex
Chambers in her first two promotional outings, Curran tapped
out Emily Kagan
with a second-round rear-naked choke at UFC Fight Night in Las
Vegas on Dec. 10. The 25-year-old Hawaiian is 4-2 in her burgeoning
professional career.
