Top UFC women’s bantamweight contender Cat Zingano , after nearly a year and a half on the sidelines, will make her return at UFC 178 on Sept. 27 in Las Vegas. She’ll get no warm-up fight, however, as Zingano will step into the Octagon opposite Amanda Nunes , who is quickly rising up the 135-pound ranks. UFC officials on Thursday confirmed the bout first reported by MMAWeekly.com content partner Yahoo! Sports . Zingano (8-0) is certainly looking forward to her shot at champion Ronda Rousey, but will first put her unblemished record on the line against the Brazilian standout. Zingano had already earned a shot at Rousey by defeating Miesha Tate on The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale
