The women’s featherweight division may have it’s first non-title fight as former bantamweight champion Holly Holm is rumoured to face UFC debutant Megan Anderson.
Phil Thompson of the Chicago Tribune first reported the matchup on Wednesday. UFC officials are yet to confirm the fight which will take place at UFC 225 in Chicago on June 9th.
Since her historic win over Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 in November 2015, Holm (11-4) has four defeats in her last five fights. “The Preacher’s Daughter” last fought at UFC 219 in December 2017, missing out on featherweight gold when she lost a unanimous decision to Cris Cyborg.
