Miesha Tate vs. Liz Carmouche official for UFC on FOX 8 in Seattle

Two of the top bantamweight female fighters will go to battle as Miesha Tate will square off against Liz Carmouche at the upcoming UFC on FOX 8 event, scheduled for July 27, 2013 at the KeyArena in Seattle.

FOX Sports confirmed the bout agreements earlier today.

Tate comes off a big loss to Cat Zingano just a few weeks ago at the TUF Finale in Las Vegas.  She lost her chance to rematch Ronda Rousey and coach opposite of “Rowdy” on TUF 18.

Carmouche comes off a first-round arm bar defeat to Ronda Rousey.  Carmouche looked to have nearly had Rousey in a world of hurt when she hopped on her back in their title fight.  Rousey was able to escape and secure an arm-bar.

UFC on FOX 8 will feature bouts like Rory MacDonald vs. Jake Ellenberger and Robbie Lawler vs. Tarec Saffiedine.   The main-event is expected to showcase flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson vs. John Moraga.
