A meeting between women's bantamweight contenders Julianna Pena and Jessica Eye is slated for Oct. 3 at UFC 192. The UFC confirmed the bout Tuesday following an initial report by ESPN.
Pena (6-2), the former underdog winner of The Ultimate Fighter 18, persevered through one of the grisliest knee injuries the sport has seen in recent memory to make her triumphant return with a first-round stoppage of Milana Dudieva at UFC Fight Night 63.
The 25-year-old is currently ranked No. 11 on the UFC's media-generated women's bantamweight rankings.
