The former UFC and Strikeforce bantamweight champion currently holds the No.11 spot on the 135lb rankings heading into her next fight against ex-Invicta FC champ Santos, who is currently one place above her at No.10.

The 35-year-old Santos is also coming off a win, having defeated Chelsea Chandler by unanimous decision last year.

However, Santos had suffered a trio of defeats prior to that, having been TKO’d by Irene Aldana and then lost via to decision to both Holly Holm and Karol Rosa.

Tate vs. Santos joins a UFC Fight Night 258 card that doesn’t yet have a main event, but will also feature Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Daniel Rodriguez and Marina Rodriguez vs. Gillian Robertson.
