Pannie Kianzad is starting to come into her own at 135 pounds and now she’s aiming for the top of the division. Kianzad (13-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) picked up her second straight win when she defeated Bethe Correia via unanimous decision at UFC on ESPN 14 in Abu Dhabi. Since dropping back down to bantamweight, Kianzad has won three of her past four and has respectfully called out former UFC bantamweight title challenger Raquel Pennington for her next fight. Pennington (11-8 MMA, 8-5 UFC), like Kianzad, primarily fights on the feet and Kianzad thinks it would be a fun stylistic matchup.
