Jessica Penne (born January 30, 1983) is an American mixed martial artist. She was the first Invicta FC Atomweight Champion. She also competed in the first women's bout in Bellator Fighting Championships. She currently competes in the Women's Strawweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). As of November 10, 2016, she is #13 in the official UFC Strawweight rankings.
Penne graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication.
In May 2009, Penne became the first woman to compete and win a bout in the Bellator Fighting Championships organization when she fought at Bellator 5 against Tammie Schneider in a 117-pound catchweight bout. She won the fight via TKO (punches) in the first round.
In August 2010, Penne met future Bellator Strawweight Champion Zoila Gurgel in the opening quarterfinal round of the Bellator Season 3 115 lb women's tournament at Bellator 25. Gurgel won the fight via unanimous decision.
In September 2011, Penne agreed to fight two-time Girls S-Cup champion Rena Kubota in a shoot boxing bout in Japan. Shoot boxing allows kicks, punches, knees, throws, and standing submissions (chokeholds, armlocks and wristlocks). Penne was added to the Shoot Boxing 2011: Act 4 fight card against Rena Kubota a week before the event. Penne beat the heavily favored Kubota in a significant upset. The bout was ruled a majority draw after the first three scheduled rounds with scores of 29-29, 29-29, and 30-29 (Penne). The fight then went to a fourth extension round, which was judged a split draw with scores of 10-9 (Kubota), 10-9 (Penne), and 10-10. The fifth and final round went to the scorecards as well and Penne was awarded the majority decision, 10-9, 10-9, and 9-9.
