UFC officials confirmed the bout earlier today.

Sarah Kaufman vs Jessica Eye announced for UFC 166

“Evil” Eye (10-1) may be best known for one of two things these days: Her complete destruction of former Bellator champ Zoila Frausto-Gurgel, or her victory over Carina Damm and the subsequent furor over Damm’s suspension for submitting non-human urine for her drug test. A member of the Strong Style Fight Team with Stipe Miocic, Eye continues to grow as a dangerous mixed martial artist. Will she continue her path of destruction with a win over Kaufman in her UFC debut?

Former Strikeforce Women’s Bantamweight Champion Kaufman (16-2)  has had what is likely the longest wait for her UFC debut of any of that promotion’s fighters. The powerful Canadian, who is in elite company with her slam KO victory over Roxanne Modafferi, is known for her heavy hands and strong offensive wrestling. With a victory over Leslie Smith in her last fight for Invicta FC, Kaufman will be coming into this bout with a lot of momentum. Will she be able to pound out a victory over her fellow UFC debutant?

UFC 166 goes down at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas on November 16th. The main evemt is a trilogy bout for the UFC Heavyweight Title, pitting the champion, Cain Velasquez against his arch-rival, Junior dos Santos. Stay tuned to MMASucka.com for more on this and other events.
