• Record: 15-6
• Next fight: Mayra Bueno Silva on July 15

Former bantamweight champion Holly Holm has fought for the title twice, successfully winning an upset bout against superstar Ronda Rousey in 2016 and losing via KO against Amanda Nunes in 2019.

Since she is a high profile fighter in the division, Holm could possibly be seeing herself fight for the title a third time if she defeas Mayra Bueno Silva in her next fight in July.
