Number nine-ranked strawweight Felice Herrig announced via Instagram that her next fight would be against number 12 Cortney Casey December 2nd at UFC 218 in Detroit.
Herrig is currently riding a three-fight win streak and recently cracked the division's top 10 for the first time in her three-year UFC career.
The 32-year-old Jeff Curran student has rocketed up the rankings following a 2015 defeat to Paige VanZant. Since the VanZant loss, Herrig has rattled off victories over Kailin Curran, Alexa Grasso and most recently Justine Kish.
