Ultimate Fighter 18 winner Julianna Pena is returning to action in April, as ESPN.com reports that she'll take on Milana Dudieva at UFC Fight Night 63 in Fairfax, Va.
Pena made a huge impression during the Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate coached season in 2013, but a nasty knee injury suffered in training last January kept her out all year. However, she's made a quicker recovery than initially expected, and she'll be back in the cage just 15 months later.
Dudieva brings an 11-3 record with her into her second UFC appearance, having defeated Elizabeth Phillips by split decision in her debut.
The April 4 event in Fairfax will air on Fox Sports 1, headlined by the featherweight bout between Chad Mendes and Ricardo Lamas.
