Dana White revealed that Raquel Pennington will serve as an alternate for the UFC 289 title fight.
Pennington (15-8 MMA, 12-7 UFC) originally was scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night 224 against Irene Aldana on May 20, but Aldana was pulled from the fight and given a title shot against Amanda Nunes when the bantamweight champion needed a new opponent for UFC 289.
