UFC women’s strawweight contenders Tecia Torres and Michelle Waterson have agreed to fight at UFC 194 on Dec. 12 at MGM Grand, sources close to the organization confirmed Monday.

Waterson, the former Invicta atomweight champion known as “The Karate Hottie,” successfully made her UFC debut with a submission of Angela Magana in July.

Torres has decision wins over Magana and Angela Hill since competing on “The Ultimate Fighter.” She is 6-0 in her career.

UFC 194 features a pair of title fights. Featherweight champion Jose Aldo will take on interim champ Conor McGregor in a unification bout. Also, Chris Weidman will defend the middleweight belt against Luke Rockhold.
