Well just hours after defeating Miesha Tate, Ronda Rousey gets her next assignment. Dana White announced that Rousey will be right back into the camp and takes the main event slot at UFC 170 in Las Vegas.She will face undefeated Sara McMann.
McMann was victorious in her UFC debut back in April. The Olympic wrestler is almost a mirror image of Rousey as they are both undefeated. McMann won the silver medal in 2004. She has recorded four stoppages in her seven professional fights and some feel she has the skill set to be a real challenge to Rousey. McMann defeated Sheila Gaff in the first round at UFC 159.
The light heavyweight bout between Daniel Cormier and Rashad Evans will serve as the co-main event as the UFC returns to The Mandalay Bay Events Center.. Here is a look at the fights so far slated for the February 22nd event.
