Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate will be a part of November’s New York City debut.

Tate (18-6 MMA, 5-3 UFC) is slated to fight fellow contender Raquel Pennington (8-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) at UFC 205, officials confirmed with ESPN.com.

UFC 205 takes place Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass, though the bout order hasn’t been finalized.

Tate is No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA women’s bantamweight rankings, and Pennington is No. 15.

Tate fights for the first time since losing her belt in a lopsided loss to Amanda Nunes in July’s UFC 200 headliner. A bout prior, the 28-year-old fan favorite and part-time hiking hero upset Holly Holm to claim the belt. The title win capped off a stellar 5-0 run that she commenced following a 2013 loss to then-champ Ronda Rousey.

Pennington, meanwhile, has moved into title contention with her current three-fight winning streak. The 28-year-old, who joined the UFC after a stint with Invicta FC and a semifinal-round finish on “The Ultimate Fighter 18,” has defeated Jessica Andrade, former title challenger Bethe Correia and Elizabeth Phillips during her current run.

The UFC 205 card now includes:

Champ Tyron Woodley vs. Stephen Thompson – for welterweight title

Champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz – for strawweight title
