UFC 175 has added another title fight, as Ronda Rousey will look to defend her women’s bantamweight championship against Alexis Davis.
Dana White tweeted the announcement on Friday evening.
Ronda Rousey vs Alexis Davis Saturday, July 5th for the women’s bantamweight title in Las Vegas for International Fight Week!!!

Rousey (9-0) has gone undefeated in her mixed martial arts career, winning all but one by arm-bar submission. Most recently Rousey finished Sara McMann with a brutal knee to the body in the very first round of their main event battle at UFC 170 in February.
Davis (16-5) is currently riding a five-fight winning streak, with three of those victories coming inside the Octagon. In her UFC debut, she beat veteran Rosi Sexton via unanimous decision, she followed that up with a decision against Liz Carmouche and most recently the Canadian defeated Jessica Eye via split decision at UFC 170 in February.
The Rousey vs. Davis fight will likely be the evenings co-main event.
UFC 175 goes down on July 5 from Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Headlining the card will be a light heavyweight title fight between champion Jon Jones and Glover Teixeira.
