Raquel Pennington will step up on short notice to face Aspen Ladd at UFC 273 on April 9.
Pennington is a late replacement for Irene Aldana, who withdrew from the bantamweight clash after suffering an undisclosed injury. Eurosport Netherlands was first to report the new matchup. UFC 273 takes place at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla., and is headlined by a featherweight title tilt between Alexander Volkanovski and Chan Sung Jung.
Pennington enters the matchup with Ladd on a three-bout winning streak.
