The Pressure Is on Jessamyn Duke in Her UFC Return After Yearlong Absence

Jessamyn Duke, frankly known more for her time on The Ultimate Fighter and her place in Ronda Rousey's "Four Horsewomen" contingent than for her performances to date in the UFC cage, is returning to the Octagon after a year away. The bantamweight will face Elizabeth Phillips at UFC on Fox 16 on July 25.

The UFC announced Duke's return on Thursday, with the news being subsequently reported by Marc Raimondi of MMA Fighting.

The rangy muay thai fighter is 3-2-1 as a pro and 1-2 in the UFC. She bested Peggy Morgan in The Ultimate Fighter 18 but has not won since.
