Miesha Tate will defend her newly minted championship against Amanda Nunes at UFC 200 on July 9.
The title tilt will be the second of three championship clashes on the card. Tate captured gold against Holly Holm at UFC 196 with a rear-naked choke in the final round. She did exactly what she needed to do when she needed to do it. She showed her champion's resolve in coming out with the belt.
Nunes earned her title shot with three consecutive victories. She stopped Shayna Baszler and Sara McMann before edging out Valentina Shevchenko on the judges' scorecards.
Once again, the bantamweight title is in the spotlight. This time, it is helping to lock down a loaded fight card at UFC 200. Two of the best 135-pound women walking planet Earth will step inside the cage to exchange leather.
