The Women’s Bantamweight Championship is set to be on the line on December 14
, as the woman who will step up to fight Amanda Nunes is Germaine De Randamie. The news was first reported by
ESPN.
This will be the second bout between the UFC fighters, as Nunes and Randamie previously met back at UFC: Fight for the Troops 3. The Bantamweight and Featherweight Champion won the match via TKO.
Going into the match-up, Nunes remains in top form as she’s coming off a strong victory over Holly Holm last month.

The 35-year-old enters the bout with a professional record of 9 wins and 3 losses.
UFC 245 takes place on Saturday, December 14 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
