J.J. Aldrich will square off against newcomer Nadia Kassem at UFC Fight Night 110 on June 10.

The Las Vegas-based promotion confirmed the strawweight pairing following an initial report from The Daily Telegraph. UFC Fight Night 110 takes place at Vector Arena in Auckland, New Zealand, and is headlined by a heavyweight clash pitting Mark Hunt against Derrick Lewis.

Aldrich made her Octagon debut at UFC Fight Night 102, where she suffered a unanimous decision loss to Juliana Lima on Dec. 9. The 24-year-old Denver native owns a 4-2 career mark, with three of those triumphs coming under the Invicta Fighting Championships banner.

Kassem, meanwhile, is unbeaten in her first four professional appearances, with all of her victories coming via KO or TKO inside of a round. Most recently, the 21-year-old Australian stopped Jasita Yotawan 1:27 into the opening stanza of their bout at JNI Promotions “1 on 1” on Feb. 24.
