A bantamweight clash pitting Karol Rosa against Lina Lansberg has been added to the UFC 280 lineup.

The Las Vegas-based promotion announced the booking on Tuesday. UFC 280 takes place on Oct. 22 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi and is headlined by a lightweight championship showdown between Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev.

The 27-year-old Rosa had a six-fight professional winning streak snapped in her last outing, as she dropped a unanimous decision to former title challenger Sara McMann at UFC on ESPN 33 on March 26. She began her promotional tenure with consecutive decision triumphs over Lara Procopio , Vanessa Melo, Joselyne Edwards and Bethe Correia.

Lansberg, meanwhile, is coming off back-to-back losses to Pannie Kianzad and McMann in UFC competition. Sweden’s “Elbow Queen” is 4-5 during her tenure with the Las Vegas-based promotion and owns notable victories over the likes of Macy Chiasson and Tonya Evinger.
