Joanne Calderwood set to return vs. Kalindra Faria in UFC Fight Night Aug. 25

One of Europe's most popular fighters is on the comeback trail.

Scotland's Joanne Calderwood has been booked against Brazilian Kalindra Faria for UFC Fight Night in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Aug. 25, multiple sources told ESPN. The promotion is expected to formally announce the flyweight fight in the coming days.

Calderwood (11-3) hasn't fought since her July 2017 unanimous decision loss to Cynthia Calvillo. She has lost two straight after winning 11 of her first 12 professional fights.

Faria (18-7-1) is 0-2 in the UFC. She most recently lost a split decision to Jessica Eye in January.

The event, which will mark the UFC's first in Lincoln, will be headlined by Justin Gaethje vs. James Vick.
