A pair of struggling strawweights will look to turn things around this February.
One-time title challenger Jessica Penne and former Invicta standout Jodie Esquibel have been booked to face one another on the UFC’s upcoming ESPN debut, which is scheduled to take place on Feb. 17 at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, the promotion announced Monday.
Penne (12-5) will be looking for her first win since Dec. 12, 2014, a split nod over Randa Markos. The 35-year-old is 0-3 since that date and she also lost time to an 18-month USADA suspension after being flagged for an anabolic steroid.
