Holly Holm picked up her first UFC win at 145 pounds in her last outing, which in the thin women’s featherweight division, kept her right at the top of the contenders’ rankings.
A former bantamweight titleholder who has also twice competed for the featherweight title, Holm is determined to be champion again, and whether it’s at 135 or 145, the woman to beat right now is Amanda Nunes.
“The Lioness” staked her claim as the best female fighter in the world when she knocked out the seemingly indomitable Cris Cyborg at UFC 232 to add the featherweight crown to the bantamweight one that she has held since July 2016.
