The UFC has its third women's bout as Olympian Sara McMann (6-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and fellow bantamweight Sheila Gaff (10-4-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) have agreed to meet in April at UFC 159.

Like current champ Ronda Rousey, McMann owns an Olympic medal. Before launching her MMA career, she represented the U.S. and picked up a silver medal in wrestling at the 2004 Summer Olympics. The 32-year-old moved to MMA in 2011, and she's since won all six of her pro bouts, including three via stoppage. Most recently, she scored a decision victory over Shayna Baszler at Invicta FC 2.

Gaff, a 23-year-old German fighter, carries a three-fight win streak into her UFC debut. All of the wins have come via knockout, including recent Cage Warriors victories over Aisling Daly and Jennifer Maia. In fact, all of her pro wins come via stoppage, which includes six knockouts and four submissions. She'll fight for the first time in 13 months.

The latest UFC 159 card includes:

Champ Jon Jones vs. Chael Sonnen - for light-heavyweight title
Alan Belcher vs. Michael Bisping
Phil Davis vs. Vinny Magalhaes
Pat Healy vs. Jim Miller
Cheick Kongo vs. Roy Nelson
Sheila Gaff vs. Sara McMann
Nick Catone vs. James Head
Jimy Hettes vs. Steven Siler
Al Iaquinta vs. Joe Proctor
Rustam Khabilov vs. Yancy Medeiros

Is Bisping vs. Belcher still on for 159 ? I thought Mike was injured.

I thought so too but he hasn't pulled out of the fight, even with the nerve problem. So as of now it's still on.
