Montano, meanwhile, will return to the Octagon at bantamweight. She was supposed to fight Shevchenko at UFC 228 and after she withdrew from the bout, the Las Vegas-based promotion stripped her of her title. Montano has been sidelined due to a USADA suspension.
UFC Sacramento goes down on July 13 at the Golden 1 Center and will be headlined by Germaine de Randamie vs. Aspen Ladd.
