Jessica Penne sees title shot as chance to 'earn that respect'

But still, Penne couldn't help but notice the UFC didn't make all that big a deal of it when she was named challenger to champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk as the main event of the June 20 UFC Fight Night card in Berlin, Germany.

"They have a lot of fighters on their roster," Penne said on a recent edition of The MMA Hour.
