Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Tecia Torres will fight in a strawweight matchup when the UFC returns to Calgary on July 28, president Dana White told ESPN's Brett Okamoto.

The bout will be the first non-title fight for Jedrzejczyk (14-2) since December 2014 when she defeated Claudia Gadelha by split decision. The former strawweight champ is coming off back-to-back losses to Rose Namajunas, the only defeats of her career.

Torres (10-2) is also coming off a loss, dropping a unanimous decision to Jessica Andrade in February. The 28-year-old had been on a three-fight winning streak prior to her recent loss and is currently fifth in the UFC strawweight rankings.

The card is set to be co-headlined by a featherweight bout between Jose Aldo and Jeremy Stephens. The UFC is also reportedly hoping to add a women's flyweight title fight between Nicco Montano and Valentina Shevchenko, as well as a lightweight battle between Dustin Poirier and Eddie Alvarez, though neither bout is close to being finalized. No main event has yet been announced for the card.
