Sara McMann will look to get back in the win column at the expense of a world champion when the UFC takes the Sunshine State.
The former women's bantamweight title challenger announced Thursday that she'll welcome recently crowned Invicta FC queen Yana Kunitskaya to the Octagon at UFC on FOX 28.
The event is set for Feb. 24 at Orlando's Amway Center, and remains without a headliner.
McMann aimed to enter the new year on a four-fight win streak, but tapped to the undefeated Ketlen Vieira at UFC 215 in September. She makes her 10th walk to the Octagon with a promotional record of 5-4.
Kunitskaya's Invicta strap was revoked and her November 2016 submission win over Tonya Evinger overturned to a no-contest following Evinger's successful appeal to the Missouri Office of Athletics, in which she argued a referee error led to the stoppage. The Russian suffered a submission loss in a rematch four months later. Evinger later vacated the title, and Kunitskaya won it with a lopsided decision over Raquel Pa'aluhi at Invicta FC 25 in August. She heads to the big show with a pro record of 10-3, including eight wins by stoppage.
