Ronda Rousey’s next defense of her UFC female bantamweight title will come at UFC 182, as was announced on “UFC Tonight” Wednesday evening. Rousey will face Cat Zingano in the co-main event.
The card, set for January 3 in Las Vegas, boasts Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier for the UFC light heavyweight title. Other previously announced fights include Hector Lombard-Josh Burkman and Louis Gaudinot-Kyoji Horiguchi.
Rousey (10-0) scored her fourth successful title defense earlier this year when she knocked out Alexis Davis. She started 2014 with a finish of fellow former Olympic medalist Sara McMann.
Zingano (9-0) returned from a year-plus layoff due to a knee injury to stop Amanda Nunes this past September. She has picked up eight finishes in nine career bouts.
