Miesha Tate’s first title defense will come at UFC 200, as the reigning UFC female bantamweight champion takes on Amanda Nunes.

The bout was announced with Tate in attendance on Wednesday’s edition of “UFC Tonight.”

Tate vs. Nunes will join a lineup that includes Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar for the interim featherweight title.

Tate (18-5) finds herself on a five-fight win streak, including her March victory over Holly Holm for the belt. The former Strikeforce champion scored a technical submission in the fifth round of their bout, joining a select few to hold titles in both promotions.

Her run includes decision victories over Jessica Eye, Sara McMann, Rin Nakai and Liz Carmouche.

The 27-year-old Nunes (12-4) has won three in a row since a 2014 loss to Cat Zingano. Overall, the Brazilian is 5-1 inside the Octagon, including victories over Valentina Shevchenko, McMann and Shayna Baszler.

According to a post on Twitter by Khabib Nurmagomedov, the unbeaten lightweight had signed to meet Donald Cerrone next week at UFC on FOX 19 earlier in the day.

However, Nurmagomedov stated that Cerrone injured his ribs hours after signing on the dotted line and will not make the April 16 event in Tampa.

Earlier this week, Tony Ferguson was forced to pull out of the planned lightweight title-eliminator vs. Nurmagomedov, who has battled injuries recently himself.

Cerrone, however, doesn’t seem to see things the same way as Nurmagomedov, responding to the fighter on Twitter:
