Raquel Pennington Is Set To Make Her Return Against Marion Reneau Next Month

Another women’s bantamweight bout is set for June 20th as Raquel Pennington will face Marion Reneau.

Pennington is looking to bounce back after suffering a devastating loss to Holly Holm at UFC 246. The bantamweight's record in her last five fights has been more misses than hits as Pennington has only defeated Miesha Tate (via unanimous decision at UFC 205) and Irene Aldana (via split decision at UFC on ESPN 4). Her professional record currently stands at 10 wins and 8 losses.

Reneau was on a hot streak when she beat Milana Dudieva (via TKO at UFC Fight Night 99), Talita Bernardo (via TKO at UFC Fight Night 115), and Sara McMann (via submission at UFC on Fox 28); however, the bantamweight fell off by first losing to Cat Zingano (via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 133) and then Yana Kunitskaya (via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 146). Reneau’s professional record currently stands at 9 wins, 5 losses, and 1 no contest.

The unnamed UFC Fight Night event will take place on Saturday, June 20th with a location and main event soon to be announced.
