A recently reported women’s bantamweight bout between recent title challenger Liz Carmouche and newcomer Jessica Andrade now is official for the UFC’s summer return to the Pacific Northwest. Carmouche (8-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) will meet Andrade (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) on the main card of UFC on FOX 8, which takes July 27 at KeyArena in Seattle. The four-fight main card, including a flyweight title fight between champ Demetrious Johnson and top contender John Moraga , airs on FOX following prelims on FX and Facebook. UFC officials on Monday announced the fight, which MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported on over the weekend . Carmouche in February made her UFC debut in a women’s bantamweight title fight against champion Ronda Rousey . The two headlined the UFC 157 pay-per-view in Anaheim, Calif., and went into the record books as the first women’s fight in UFC history. Although Carmouche had Rousey in trouble with a first-round neck crank, Rousey escaped, got the fight to the ground and deep in the first round latched onto her signature armbar to get the submission victory. Carmouche was scheduled to fight Miesha Tate at UFC on FOX 8
