Best known for her knockout wins over Amanda Nunes and Miesha Tate, Zingano last fought in March against Leah McCourt at Bellator 293.

The September event will be the promotion's second visit to Australia after UFC 284 in Perth, that saw Alexander Volkanovski challenge Islam Makhachev for the lightweight belt.


#1. Ariel Helwani gives an honest review of Conor McGregor's documentary

Conor McGregor's new Netflix documentary, McGregor Forever, is currently streaming on Netflix. The initial reviews are quite positive, with industry experts praising the Irishman and the production team for keeping it real and revealing some never-seen-before footage.

Ariel Helwani was the latest among the MMA pros to give his honest review of the documentary. The veteran journalist took to Twitter and commended its making. Additionally, he weighed in on how the 'Brooklyn part' was shown, which is a reference to the infamous bus attack.

"Watched the first episode and a half of the new @TheNotoriousMMA doc on Netflix, entitled “McGregor Forever.” Very well done. Lots of stuff in there that we’ve never seen before. No spoilers but the Brooklyn part is fascinating. It’s out right now."
