Cat Zingano to fight Julianna Pena at UFC 200

Cat Zingano will make her return to the Octagon against Julianna Pena at UFC 200, the UFC announced Thursday.

Zingano-Pena is the second women's bantamweight bout added to the star-studded card in as many days. It was confirmed Wednesday that Miesha Tate will take on Amanda Nunes at the July 9 event, marking the first opportunity for her to defender her title.

Zingano will enter looking to bounce back from the first loss of her professional career early last year, when Ronda Rousey was declared winner by submission just 14 seconds into the first round at UFC 184.

Pena, the former TUF winner, boasts a 8-2 professional record that includes a perfect 3-0 start to her UFC career.
