It’s not Holly Holm, nor is it Ronda Rousey. Instead it will be Amanda Nunes who challenges Miesha Tate for the UFC women’s bantamweight title at UFC 200, the promotion announced today . Tate (18-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) said following her victory over Holm at UFC 196 in March that she wanted to put her title on the line sooner rather than later. She got her wish, but instead of a big rematch with Holm or Rousey, she will face Nunes (11-4 MMA, 4-1 UFC), who will carry a four-fight winning streak into the July 9 event at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
