Girls’s strawweight motion has been lined up for what is anticipated to be UFC Vegas 106 this Could.
The newly reported combat will see veteran 115’er Tecia Pennington (14-7) face off towards Luana Pinheiro (11-4) on the UFC Apex on Could 17, 2025.
Preventing below the UFC banner because the ladies’s strawweight division was launched again in 2014, Tecia Pennington (nee Torres), a.ok.a. “The Tiny Tornado,” has been an everyday presence within the weight class. After taking off 2023 because of the start of her daughter with spouse Raquel Pennington, Torres returned to motion in 2024, splitting a pair of fights.
These noticed her lose a cut up resolution towards Tabatha Ricci, then ship former champ Carla Esparza into retirement with a unanimous resolution victory.
Pennington might be getting into the octagon for the 18th time come Could.
Luana Pinheiro might be seeking to snap a three-fight skid within the bout, which has her in must-win territory. She’s dropped her final three to Amanda Ribas, Angela Hill, and most lately, Gillian Robertson.
