Former undisputed bantamweight champion, Holly Holm may already have a route to a return to combat sports following her release from the UFC overnight, with the Albuquerque striker on the radar of BFKC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship), according to leader, David Feldman.
Holm, a former undisputed bantamweight champion and featherweight title challenger during her iconic run in the Octagon, departed the Dana White-led organization overnight, requesting her official release despite retaining fights on her contract at the time.
