Editorial: Doubt Holly Holm at your own risk

Holly Holm made her UFC debut in 2015. She entered the UFC as the No. 13 ranked fighter in the official UFC women’s bantamweight rankings, which was one spot higher than the woman she faced in that fight, Raquel Pennington. Since her win over Pennington that night, Holm has not slipped from the top-10 of the division.

Today, the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion sits in the No. 2 spot, second to the woman who knocked her out in July 2019, Amanda Nunes. Holm, who has not fought since she earned a decision win over Irene Aldana in October 2020, looks to prove she deserves her spot in the UFC rankings when she faces Ketlen Vieira in the main event of Saturday’s UFC Vegas 55 fight card.
