UFC representatives officially announced the organization of a potential challenger fight.
Raquel Pennington is on a five-fight streak, winning a split decision against Kathleen Vieira in the last fight, and Irene Aldana scored two victories in a row, knocking out Jana Santos and Maisie Chiasson.
The confrontation of the girls will become a revenge – in July 2019, Pennington defeated Aldana by a split decision after three rounds.
Raquel Pennington and Irene Aldana currently sit second and fifth in the UFC women’s bantamweight division, respectively.
