With Claudia Gadelha Out, Aisling Daly Draws Randa Markos at UFC 186

Poland’s loss is Canada’s gain.

With Claudia Gadelha having to withdraw from UFC Fight Night 64, slated for April 11 in Poland, her opponent, Aisling Daly, has been moved to the UFC 186 fight card on April 25 in Montreal. Daly will now face Canadian fighter Randa Markos.

The move fills a spot on the UFC 186 fight card after the original main event bout between bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw and Renan Barão was postponed due to an injury to Dillashaw.

Daly (15-5) comes into the fight having won her last two, including her UFC debut against Alex Chambers at The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale. She took part in TUF 20, but lost a decision to Jessica Penne in the quarterfinal round of the show.

Markos (4-2) was also last seen in the cage at the TUF 20 Finale, where she lost a split decision to Penne, but the Ontarian has the home country advantage heading into the fight with Daly.

With Dillashaw vs. Barão off the card, flyweight champion Demetrius Johnson will headline in Montreal, putting his belt on the line against Kyoji Horiguchi at the Bell Centre.
