Unlike many UFC newcomers looking to make their debut on short notice, Lupita Godinez enters her first fight with the UFC as a heavy favorite. A former LFA women’s strawweight champion, Godinez (5-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is set to compete for the first time under the UFC banner this Saturday at UFC on ESPN 22 in Las Vegas. She’ll take on former UFC title challenger and Invicta FC champion Jessica Penne (12-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC) on the prelims. Many betting sites have Godinez close to a three-to-one favorite. The unbeaten prospect is not surprised she enters her UFC debut under these conditions.
