Holly Holm found herself back in the win column with a unanimous decision victory over Raquel Pennington in the co-main event of UFC 246 in Las Vegas.

It wasn't the prettiest of wins, but it was an effective one as she mostly shutdown anything Pennington had to offer with a clinch-heavy gameplan.

Holm was in dire need of a win coming into her first-ever UFC rematch. Holm was debuting in the UFC when she beat Pennington by decision. Now, she's a former champion battling to stay relevant.

The 38-year-old has been afforded three title shots since she lost the bantamweight belt to Miesha Tate in 2016.
