On March 25, Cornelia Holm will write history as the first Swedish female to fight in the major MMA organization PFL.

The promotion just revealed that Poland’s Marta “Wadera” Waliczek will be Holm’s opponent in her first fight in PFL’s European tournament.

The Polish 35-year-old has a similar professional record as the Swede, with six wins and five losses, compared to Holm’s 5-5 record.

In her last fight Waliczek defeated Erilene Rayla Nascimento via unanimous decision at Qadya MMA 2.
