Holly Holm is one of the sport’s top female prospects. She’s being ushered into the UFC as a title prospect for Ronda Rousey. The one-time P4P Boxing great brings an undefeated professional MMA record into her UFC debut.

Pennington is a TUF 18 veteran who made it to the semi-finals of the show, where she was then eliminated from the tournament. The former Invicta FC fighter is currently 1-1 in her post-TUF UFC stint.
