Cat Zingano finally has her next fight booked, but the number one contender will not face UFC bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey.

The promotion has announced that the 8-0 fight will take on Amanda Nunes at UFC 178 on September 27th. That card, which will go down in Las Vegas, Nevada, does not have a venue confirmed yet.

Zingano stopped Miesha Tate in April, 2013 to lock up a coaching stint on TUF 18 and a chance to fight Rousey. Zingano injured her knee soon after, however, and she hasn’t fought since.

The 32 year-old was expected to face Rousey in her return, but the latter broke her hand during her win over Alexis Davis at UFC 175.

Nunes (9-3) has scored wins over Germaine de Randamie and Sheila Gaf since joining the UFC, and is currently ranked #8.

UFC 178 will also feature a rematch between light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson.
