UFC 307 Co-Main Event: Julianna Peña vs. Raquel Pennington
This is the UFC 307 live blog for Raquel Pennington vs. Julianna Peña, the bantamweight title fight co-main event this Saturday in Salt Lake City. A staple of the women’s bantamweight division since entering the UFC off of The Ultimate Fighter in 2013, the book on Pennington for much of her career was that she fell short against the very best opposition she faced. That all changed in 2020 when Pennington started her six-fight unbeaten streak, which includes winning the vacant bantamweight title over Mayra Bueno Silva at UFC 297. Now Pennington makes the first defense of her belt against her longtime rival from the TUF house. Peña, the winner of season 18 of The Ultimate Fighter, is best known for her shocking upset over Amanda Nunes at UFC 269, ending Nunes' reign with a submission that stunned the world. However, Peña lost the bantamweight title in their rematch six months later and has been sidelined due to injury. Now, 'The Venezuelan Vixen' hopes to reclaim UFC gold in her first fight in nearly two years.
