UFC 219 finally has its title fight.

Cris “Cyborg” Justino vs. Holly Holm for the UFC women’s featherweight title is set for the Dec. 30 card in Las Vegas, MMA Fighting has learned.

The booking ends the promotion’s long quest to find a title fight for it’s year-end show. Last week, Holm’s camp said a deal could not be reached for the fight, but after striking up negotiations once again earlier this week, all sides came to an agreement on Thursday.

Justino won the vacant title in July when she defeated Tonya Evinger at UFC 214, while Holm snapped a three-fight losing streak in June with a knockout of Bethe Correia. They are arguably the two most popular female fighters in the UFC.

The event is scheduled to take place at T-Mobile Arena.

Still a lot of time for someone to get injured or piss hot. I anticipate this fight falling through.

Lol, everything fell apart for the ufc so they had to pay her. Excellent timing for holly's pocket, terrible for her health though.

Cyborg didn't look that great against the random broad she fought last time.

I can see Holm yelling 'KI-YA' and slapping the air enough to get some half-asleep judge to score it her way.

I thought cyborg was just looking for some cage time since her opponent didn't seem to want to fight at all. It looked more like cyborg was milking the clock to me. Maybe I'm way off, but that is what I made out of the bout.

At least she's fighting the no.1 contender. Oh wait a minute, there is only one contender.
