The UFC female bantamweight title fight between Miesha Tate and Amanda Nunes has now taken on the main event role for UFC 200.

The promotion confirmed the change at the conclusion of UFC Fight Night 90 Thursday night.

Tate will be making her first title defense after securing the belt with a submission win over Holly Holm. She was rumored for a potential rematch with Holm or third fight vs. Ronda Rousey, but meets the red-hot Nunes instead.

UFC 200 also features Brock Lesnar-Mark Hunt, Daniel Cormier-Anderson Silva, an interim featherweight title fight between Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar, and Cain Velasquez vs. Travis Browne.
