Holly Holm returns to featherweight, books opponent for Oct. 16 UFC event

Holly Holm is moving from bantamweight to featherweight, again.

On Wednesday evening, Damon Martin and Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting reported that Holm and Norma Dumont have verbally agreed to fight each other at an upcoming UFC event that is currently scheduled for Oct. 16. Holm took to social media to confirm the fight, but it has not been announced as official by the UFC brass.

The event does not have a location or venue determined yet.

Holm last competed at featherweight against Megan Anderson at UFC 225, where she earned a unanimous decision victory and returned to the win column following a failed title bid against then-champion Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino a few months earlier.
