Tecia Pennington wanted to create “The Tiny Tornado” legacy when she joined the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster. While she did make some strides, she has not seen that goal through to fruition. Yet she remains a fighter at heart. The UFC women’s strawweight mainstay has waged war against some of the biggest names in women’s mixed martial arts, and she has never been finished. Pennington will face Tabatha Ricci in a UFC on ESPN 56 prelim this Saturday at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis. It marks her first appearance since April 2022.
