Three weeks shy of her 39th birthday, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm is back in another main event with title implications. Holm, who is just 3-5 since her 2015 title upset of Ronda Rousey, faces off against Irene Aldana in a five-round headlining bout atop UFC Fight Night in Abu Dhabi. With Aldana entering having won four of five, the winner could be in contention for a shot at Amanda Nunes’ 135-pound championship.
A native of Mexico, Aldana is fresh off an impressive one-punch knockout of Ketlen Vieira. Holm, meanwhile, fought Racquel Pennington to a decision in their rematch. Also featured on the card is another former women’s champion as the inaugural women’s featherweight champ Germaine de Randamie takes on Julianna Peña at 135 pounds.
CBS Sports will be with you the entire way on Saturday bringing you all the results and highlights from the UFC Fight Night card.
