It was early July when the UFC announced that highly touted former professional boxer Holy Holm signed to the organization, but now she is finally set to debut:
Holly Holm, the former world boxing champion who stood atop the pound-for-pound rankings for much of her career in the ring, will make her long-awaited Octagon debut at UFC 181 on Dec. 6 when she faces The Ultimate Fighter 18 alum Raquel Pennington.
Albuquerque’s Holm held a 33-2-3 boxing record before moving to MMA in 2011. Unbeaten in seven pro bouts with six wins by knockout the Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA product enters the UFC for the first time with a tough test in front of her in the form of Colorado’s “Rocky” Pennington, a hard-nosed striker who owns a UFC win over Roxanne Modafferi.
