Holly Holm vs. Irene Aldana to headline UFC event on Aug. 1
Holly Holm is back.
A former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, Holm will take on fellow contender Irene Aldana in the headliner of an upcoming UFC event on Aug. 1. The event does not yet have an official name designation or location.
A person with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the booking Monday but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. UFC broadcast partner ESPN was first to report the news.
In her most recent fight, Holm (13-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC), 38, defeated former women’s bantamweight title challenger Raquel Pennington by unanimous decision at UFC 246 in January. Prior to that, Holm lost to champion Amanda Nunes by first-round knockout at UFC 239 in July 2019.
Aldana (12-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC) is coming off of a massive first-round knockout of Ketlen Vieira at UFC 245 in December. Aldana, a 32-year-old Mexican fighter, has won five of her last six outings with her lone loss being a split decision to Pennington in July 2019.
With the addition, the current Aug. 1 lineup includes:
- Holly Holm vs. Irene Aldana
- Derek Brunson vs. Edmen Shahbazyan
- Markus Perez vs. Eric Spicely
