Miesha Tate's first defense of her UFC women's bantamweight title will be on the big UFC 200 card, as she faces Brazil's Amanda Nunes. Tate won the title from Holly Holm in dramatic fashion, submitting Holm with a rear-naked choke in the final round of a fight which would've seen Holm retain her belt with at least a draw on the scorecards.
While Dana White said that Tate would fight Ronda Rousey next, Rousey's not expected to return until November, so Tate is instead fighting Nunes, who is the #4 ranked contender in the division.
