UFC 181: Hendricks vs. Lawler II
Raquel Pennington vs. Ashlee Evans-Smith
After a lengthy amateur career that saw her defeat the likes of Jessamyn Duke, Ashlee Evans-Smith turned pro in 2013 and quickly rang up a perfect 3-0 record. Not surprisingly, a call to the Octagon followed for the talented striker and wrestler, and tonight, Evans-Smith makes her UFC debut against The Ultimate Fighter 18 veteran Raquel Pennington. A hardnosed striker who owns a UFC win over Roxanne Modafferi, Pennington first made her presence known during season 18 of The Ultimate Fighter, and while she lost a close split decision to Jessica Andrade in March, a win over Evans-Smith will put 'Rocky' back on track at 135 pounds.
