Jessica Penne returns from USADA suspension to face Hannah Goldy at UFC 260

Nearly four years after her last appearance, Jessica Penne will finally return to action for a fight against Hannah Goldy at UFC 260 on March 27.

Multiple sources confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting on Monday. MMA Junkie initially reported the contest.

It’s been a long road back for Penne, who last competed in 2017 before she faced a potential four-year suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency for a second violation of the UFC’s anti-doping policy. USADA eventually handed Penne a 20-month suspension after she tested positive for trace amounts of Stanozolol, which is an anabolic steroid banned at all times for athletes competing in the UFC.
