Las Vegas Aces guard Kelsey Plum is still recovering from surgery on her left Achilles heel, but in her time away from the basketball court, the 26-year-old has taken on a new role.
Last week, Plum served as matchmaker for the UFC, setting up two upcoming fights. First, she helped to finalize the upcoming Maycee Barber-Alexa Grasso flyweight fight, scheduled for February 13. Plum also worked with the matchmaking team to set up a headliner on January 16, a featherweight bout pitting Max Holloway against Calvin Kattar.
“Holloway-Kattar, the energy of that fight is very appealing to me,” says Plum.
