Fall River native Tecia (Torres) Pennington taking win streak into UFC Fight Night

A Fall River native is getting back into the octagon in hopes of continuing her winning streak and building on her momentum.

#13 ranked Strawweight Tecia (Torres) Pennington (15-7) will take on #15 ranked 11-3 Denise Gomes of Brazil on the main card for UFC Fight Night 264 on November 8th in Las Vegas at the UFC Apex.

Gomes is on a streak of her own winning her last three fights including previously undefeated Eduarda Moura.

Pennington has won her last two fights after two controversial split decision losses.

On May 17th, Pennington took on 11-5 Luana Pinheiro of Brazil at UFC Fight Night at UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

All three judges scored the fight 29-28 Pennington.

While it seemed as though Pennington was in control through most of the fight, the pair did have several back-and-forth exchanges.

Pennington was coming off a victory in October against California’s Carla Esparza (20-7) in UFC 307 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City.

The Tiny Tornado won by unanimous decision taking all three cards 29-28, 29-28, and 30-27.

Esparza retired after the fight which was planned to be her last.
