UFC San Antonio is getting a potential No. 1 contender as its headliner.

First reported by James Lynch and later confirmed by Carlos Contreras Legaspi of ESPN Deportes, the UFC is finalizing Raquel Pennington vs. Irene Aldana 2 for the upcoming event on March 25 at the AT&T Center in Texas.

Pennington and Aldana first fought at UFC on ESPN 4 nearly four years ago. ‘Rocky’ defeated Aldana by split decision, which saw her snap a two-fight losing streak.

Pennington has won five of her past six appearances. Following the Aldana fight, the 34-year-old fell short against former UFC champion Holly Holm at UFC 246.
