Holly “The Preacher’s Daughter” Holm (13-5) is the second ranked Women’s Bantamweight fighter, and a former champion of both UFC and boxing. Holm has many famous bouts, but none were bigger than her win over Ronda Rousey, where she knocked her out to become the UFC champion. Holm also competed in the Featherweight division, and fought Cris Cyborg for that title as well.

Now this MMA, boxing and kickboxing expert is trying to work her way back up to a rematch with current champion Amanda Nunes. Aldana will have to be prepared to defend against strikes from every direction as Holm seeks to prove she’s still at an elite level after five losses in her last eight fights. 

Irene “Robles” Aldana (12-5) is the sixth ranked Women’s Bantamweight fighter, and this mexican mixed martial artist is still seeking her first ever title. Aldana did fight for a title in two of her previous promotions, but lost both fights by knockout. 

Now Aldana is jumping up the UFC rankings, with a 5-1 record over her last six fights including two stoppages. Now a win over a legend like Holly Holm could put her in position to be a future challenger for the title once Nunes returns from any leave taken to celebrate the birth of her daughter with her fiance Nina Ansaroff.
