Holly Holm wants Amanda Nunes at bantamweight, not featherweight

Holly Holm has competed at both women’s bantamweight and featherweight, but she would rather try to re-capture the 135-pound title instead of getting a second belt.

Both divisions are currently reigned over by double champion Amanda Nunes, who knocked out Cris Cyborg last month for the featherweight strap. Holm, the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion who was the first to knock out Ronda Rousey, told MMA Fighting she wants to fight Nunes in the lighter weight class.

“I think that bantamweight is probably where we would fight, I think that would be the case,” Holm said.
