A fight between Julianna Pena and Jessica Eye is set for UFC 192 in Houston this October.
The bout was first reported by ESPN.com, and was subsequently confirmed by the UFC.
Pena, the 25-year-old winner of The Ultimate Fighter 18, returned to action in April a year and a half after her previous appearance. A serious knee injury kept her out all of 2014, but her TKO win over Milana Dudieva showed she hadn't missed a beat from her TUF finals winning performance.
Eye makes a quick turnaround after a loss to Miesha Tate just over a week ago at UFC on Fox 16. The 29-year-old has won just one fight so far in her four UFC appearances, and needs to pick up a victory here to get on track.
UFC 192 comes to the Toyota Center on October 3, headlined by a Light Heavyweight Championship bout between Daniel Cormier and Alexander Gustafsson.
