Cat Zingano moves to featherweight, meets Megan Anderson at UFC 232

A women’s featherweight bout between Megan Anderson and Cat Zingano is the latest addition to December’s UFC 232 lineup.

UFC officials today announced the bout, which will see former UFC women’s bantamweight title challenger Zingano (10-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) move up a division tot are on former Invicta FC champ Anderson (8-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC).

UFC 232 takes place Dec. 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, though broadcast plans and the bout order hasn’t been finalized.

After having her UFC debut delayed for nearly a year, Anderson, 28, finally graced the octagon for the first time at UFC 225 in June. She got a big fight in her debut against ex-champ Holly Holm, but suffered a unanimous decision loss to have her four-fight winning streak snapped.

Anderson won’t be getting a step down in competition for her sophomore appearance, though, because she meets longtime 135-pound contender Zingano, 36, who after starting her career at flyweight, will fight at 145 pounds. “Alpha” has teased a potential jump in weight class for some time, and following a unanimous-decision victory over Marion Reneau at UFC Fight Night 133 in July, has opted to finally go through with it.

With the addition, the UFC 232 card now includes:

  • Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson – for light heavyweight title
  • Cris Cyborg vs. Amanda Nunes
  • Corey Anderson vs. Ilir Latifi
  • Ryan Hall vs. B.J. Penn
  • Arnold Allen vs. Gilbert Melendez
  • Michael Chiesa vs. Carlos Condit
  • Megan Anderson vs. Cat Zingano

Karine Silva explains how fast UFC rise was actually deceivingly long
