Cat Zingano is making her return to the Octagon.
After suffering three consecutive defeats, former title contender Cat Zingano is set for a quick turnaround as she has been booked to fight Marion Reneau at UFC Fight Night 133. While Zingano is desperate for a win, her foe is on the best run of her career thus far. Reneau is fresh off a submission victory over Olympic medalist Sara McMann and is unbeaten in her last four contests.
Zingano hasn’t tasted victory since she finished current-champ Amanda Nunes in 2014. Her conquest of Nunes earned her a shot at Ronda Rousey, but she was defeated in the first round and has since dropped consecutive decision losses.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship has announced more matchups for their first event in Idaho, with another former title contender in Liz Carmouche, who is scheduled to face off with debuting Invicta Fighting Championships star Jennifer Maia. The ever-exciting Justin Scoggins will be looking to return to winning ways when he faces off with Said Nurmagomedov, who is a cousin of the UFC’s lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
UFC Fight Night 133 is scheduled for July 14 and it will take place at CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho.
