News about Holly Holm

Kayla Harrison announced her arrival in a big way by defeating Holly Holm at UFC 300. The 33-year-old entered the Octagon as one of the most highly-anticipated signings for the promotion in recent years. Before signing with the UFC, Harrison had transferred a decorated career as a Olympic judoka into a dominant run in the PFL, and was twice crowned the promotion's lightweight tournament winner.

The first images of Kayla Harrison's new physique have been revealed as she prepares to make her UFC debut at UFC 300 this Saturday night. The former Olympic judo gold medal winner and ex-PFL champion has always been known for her ripped physique and is having to cut down 20lbs from her usual lightweight division to bantamweight.  Harrison still looks in brilliant condition and shared a picture of herself flexing to her 189,000 followers on Instagram. 

UFC CEO Dana White revealed Harrison's long-awaited promotion on Tuesday. Harrison will be on display at the marquee pay-per-view in Holm on April 13 against the former champion. In the fight report, 'Holly will face the only person in the United States to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals in judo.' Kayla Harrison has officially signed the UFC.' Harrison's fighting style was praised by the reporter, who revealed that this would be her first fight at 135 pounds.

At OVO Arena Wembley on October 29, Katie Taylor will defend her status as the undisputed world lightweight champion against unbeaten Argentinian Karen Elizabeth Carabajal. The Irish fighter, who edged Amanda Serrano out on points in the first women's tournament to headline Madison Square Garden in April, will carry her WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO titles on the line. She has never competed on home soil before, but there has been rumors of a match between Puerto Rico's Serrano or mixed martial arts actress Holly Holm and Cris Cyborg, who was reportedly suspended at Croke Park this year.
