Julianna Peña sheds light on timing of UFC title fight vs. Raquel Pennington

Julianna Pena says she will likely challenge UFC bantamweight champion Raquel Pennington in October.

Peña (11-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) will look to reclaim her bantamweight title when she faces fellow Season 18 “Ultimate Fighter” alum Pennington (16-8 MMA, 13-5 UFC). Peña says the current timing for their title fight is UFC 307 on Oct. 5 in Salt Lake City.

“I think it’s going to be in the fall for sure,” Peña told MMA Junkie Radio. “That’s all I know. I think maybe they were looking towards October. I don’t know if it’s been announced yet, and I don’t want to be that person that leaks the fight, but I’m definitely hearing October. I think it’s going to be in Salt Lake City if I’m not mistaken.”
