Cat Zingano will lock horns with Julianna Pena in a bantamweight clash at UFC 200.
The promotion confirmed the bout on Thursday following an initial report from espnW.com . UFC 200 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 9 and is headlined by a welterweight tilt between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor. The Zingano-Pena winner will be “in the running” for a 135-pound title shot, according to the report.
Zingano has been sidelined since her 14-second submission loss to Ronda Rousey at UFC 184 in February 2015.
