Tecia Pennington

Tecia Pennington holds a 15-8-0 professional record and competes as an orthodox striker in the strawweight division. Standing 5'1" with a 60-inch reach, the "Tiny Tornado" operates as a volume striker averaging 4.73 strikes landed per minute with 48% striking accuracy, while maintaining solid defensive metrics of 61% strike defense.

Her grappling remains a minor component of her arsenal, with a takedown average of just 0.56 per 15 minutes and 14% accuracy, though she defends takedowns at a respectable 62%. Pennington's recent record shows inconsistency, posting a 4-4 split across her last eight fights.

Notable recent performances include a unanimous decision victory over Carla Esparza in October 2024, followed by a unanimous decision loss to Denise Gomes in November 2025, and a prior win against Luana Pinheiro in May 2025. Earlier in her career, she faced elite competition including losses to Zhang Weili and Joanna Jedrzejczyk, demonstrating her willingness to test herself against top-tier opposition.

With her recent form hovering around .500 and her reliance on striking volume rather than takedown threat, Pennington needs a decisive victory to regain momentum in a competitive strawweight landscape.
