UFC Champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Jessica Penne Announced for Fight Night 69

The UFC has chosen Joanna Jedrzejczyk's first title challenger: former Invicta FC atomweight champion Jessica Penne. The news was announced Friday morning by the UFC on Twitter.

The fight is booked as the new headliner for June's UFC Fight Night 69 in Berlin, Germany. The previous main event, a light heavyweight bout between former contenders Alexander Gustafsson and Glover Teixeira, fell apart due to an injury sustained by the Mauler.
