UFC 205 gets two high-profile women’s fights, including strawweight title clash

The ladies are coming to New York, too.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk will defend her UFC women's strawweight title against Karolina Kowalkiewicz in a battle of Polish stars at UFC 205 on Nov. 12 in New York, it was confirmed Friday by UFC officials. Former bantamweight champ Miesha Tate will also make her return on the card against Raquel Pennington.

Flo Combat was the first to report the title bout. ESPN reported the Tate-Pennington fight initially.

Jedrzejczyk (12-0) is coming off a Fight of the Year contender against Claudia Gadelha in July.
