A strawweight clash pitting Jodie Esquibel against Jessica Penne has been booked for the UFC’s first card on ESPN Network.
The Las Vegas-based promotion recently announced the pairing. The card takes place on Feb. 17 at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix. A headliner for the event has not been announced.
Esquibel is still looking for her first UFC victory after dropping decisions to Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Jessica Aguilar in her first two appearances. The Invicta FC veteran owns a 6-4 career mark that includes wins over DeAnna Bennett, Jinh Yu Frey and Nicdali Rivera-Calanoc.
