Three weeks after her shy 39th birthday, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm is back in the second major event with the effects of the title. Honda, which is just 3-5 after Rhonda Rossi’s 2015 title upset, will face Irene Aldana in the top five-round headlining round of the UFC Fight Night in Abu Dhabi. With Aldana winning four of five, winner Amanda Nunes could argue for a shot at the 135-pound championship.
Aldana, a native of Mexico, is fresh from the impressive one-punch knockout of Catalan Vieira. Holme, meanwhile, fought Raquel Pennington for his rematch decision. There’s also another former women’s champion in the card, as the opening women’s featherweight champion, Germain de Randami, weighs in at 135 pounds on Julia’s paya.
