Former bantamweight champion Holly Holm never wants to pull out of a fight but a torn hamstring was an injury she could not ignore ahead of her scheduled showdown against Raquel Pennington at UFC 243.
Originally scheduled for the main card in Melbourne, Australia, Holm’s fight with Pennington was ultimately scrapped and pulled from the card after she suffered an injury late into her training camp.
As Holm explained in an Instagram post detailing the injury, it’s nothing serious that will keep her sidelined very long but it severe enough to prevent her from fighting on Saturday night.
