Holly Holm injured, UFC 243 fight with Raquel Pennington scrapped

Holly Holm will not have the opportunity to score another spectacular win down under after all.

Holm, a former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, is out of her Oct. 5 rematch with Raquel Pennington at UFC 243 due to an undisclosed injury, ESPN reported Friday. As a result, Pennington has also been pulled from the card, according to MMA Junkie.

UFC 243 takes place at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, the same setting in which Holm knocked out Ronda Rousey in a massive upset to win the UFC belt in 2015.

Holm is 2-5 since that fight.
