Raquel Pennington
​
At long last,
Raquel Pennington
seems to have her final opponent for next month’s UFC 191 – and she’ll be looking for some payback.
The injury bug came biting Pennington’s previous opponents, Leslie Smith and
Liz Carmouche
(10-5 MMA, 2-3 UFC). Now Pennington (5-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) will meet
Jessica Andrade
(13-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) in a rematch on the preliminary card of UFC 191. UFC officials announced the new booking today.
UFC 191 takes place Sept. 5 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. Prior to the pay-per-view main card, FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass carry the prelims.
Andrade and Pennington first fight at UFC 171 in Dallas in March 2014. There, Andrade won a split decision in a back-and-forth fight. Most media outlets
scored the fight 29-28 for Andrade
.
Andrade got back in the win column a month ago when she took a unanimous decision from Sarah Moras at UFC Fight Night 71 in San Diego. In February, the Brazilian lost by submission in her home country against Marion Reneau to have a three-fight winning streak snapped. All three of those wins, including the one over Pennington, came after a loss to Carmouche in her UFC debut in July 2013.
Pennington, a semifinalist on “The Ultimate Fighter 18,” has alternated wins and losses over her four-fight UFC career. She’s scored wins over Roxanna Modafferi and Ashlee Evans-Smith in that stretch with split-decision defeats to Holly Holm (in her most recent bout) and Andrade.
The newly finalized UFC 191 lineup now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET)
Champ Demetrious Johnson vs. John Dodson – for flyweight title
Andrei Arlovski vs. Frank Mir
Anthony Johnson vs. Jimi Manuwa
Corey Anderson vs. Jan Blachowicz
Alex Chambers vs. Paige VanZant
PRELIMINARY CARD (FOX Sports 1, 8 p.m. ET)
Paul Felder vs. Ross Pearson
John Lineker vs. Francisco Rivera
Jessica Andrade vs. Raquel Pennington
Clay Collard vs. Tiago Trator
PRELIMINARY CARD (UFC Fight Pass, 7 p.m. ET)
Joe Riggs vs. Ron Stallings
Nazareno Malegarie vs. Joaquim Silva

Smart on Andrade's part to fight asap. Build up more momentum and get payback on a previous loss. With Pena booked as well, I wonder who Holm's will be matched up with.

Andrade is one built chick, if she wins I would like to see her face Holm since the fights is only 2 and 1/2 weeks away.

Raquel's record as is spotty. She hasn't really been a beast since she was amateur.
Jessica by Unanimous Decision.

Raquel hasn't beat anyone in an official MMA bout with a guillotine in 3 years.

I see this playing out pretty similar to their first fight at 171 with Jessica landing better shots for a decision

I should specify. This is septembers rematch we have been waiting for. Every other month there is a rematch we have been waiting for where one fighter lost decisively or it wasn't a good fight
