By E. Spencer Kyte • Oct. 3, 2024
Raquel Pennington has been waiting more than 11 years to share the Octagon with Julianna Peña, and this weekend, at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, the two will finally face off, with the women’s bantamweight title hanging in the balance.
“This is a fight that wasn’t just an eight-week camp for me — this is a fight that has been on my mind for 11 years,” the champion said about the matchup with Pena, the former champion who will be competing for the first time since losing the title at UFC 277 in the summer of 2022.
