Felice Sherig and Karolina Koliewicz need a win. They will be facing off next weekend.
A strawweight rematch featuring Herrig (14-9) and Kowalkiewicz (12-7) has officially been added to the June 4 UFC Vegas 56 card, which takes place at UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Herrig hasn’t fought in the UFC since August 2020,, a period of nearly 22 month. In her most recent outing at UFC 252, she lost by first-round armbar to Virna Jandiroba. It was her third straight loss following a unanimous decision loss to Michelle Waterson and a split decision loss to Kowalkiewicz at UFC 223 in April 2018.
Kowalkiewicz is still without a win after defeating Herrig. She currently has a 5-fight skid that includes losses to Jessica Andrade and Waterson as well as Alexa Grasso and Yan Xiaonan. In her most recent outing in August of this past year, Kowalkiewicz was submitted inside of a round by Jessica Penne. She previously fought for the UFC strawweight title, losing a unanimous decision to Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 205.
