Liz Carmouche vs. Raquel Pennington added to UFC 191

Published Aug. 12, 2015 8:30 p.m. ET

A late addition has been tacked onto the UFC 191 fight card on Sept. 5 as former title contender Liz Carmouche takes on “Ultimate Fighter” veteran Raquel Pennington in a women's bantamweight match in Las Vegas

Carmouche will look for her second win in a row after defeating Lauren Murphy in a close decision last April.

The veteran bantamweight has gone 2-2 through her last four fights as she looks to climb back up the rankings in the women's division.

Pennington will try to avoid her second straight loss after dropping a very close, split decision against highly touted striker Holly Holm in her last fight.

Pennington has bounced back and forth between wins and losses since joining the UFC, so she's due for a win as she gets ready to fight at UFC 191 in just a few weeks.

UFC 191 is headlined by a flyweight title fight between champion Demetrious Johnson and top-ranked challenger John Dodson, as well as heavyweight showdown between two former UFC champions as Frank Mir takes on Andrei Arlovski.
