Holly Holm has her next fight booked but it won’t be at her usual weight of 135-pounds.
MMA Fighting reported Wednesday that “The Preacher’s Daughter” has her next bout lined up and it will act as a return to the 145-pound featherweight division. Standing in Holm’s way on Oct. 16 will be Brazil’s Norma Dumont. The location for the event along with the headlining bout remains to be determined.
Holm (14-5) last fought at featherweight in December 2017 when challenging for the title against then-champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino. After going the full five rounds, the former bantamweight champion fell short via unanimous decision. The loss made Holm 1-4 since her huge upset victory against Ronda Rousey at the time.
