Then, at last night&#8217;s UFC 235 press conference, UFC President Dana White casually dropped the news that Holm would <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/holly-holm-vs-aspen-ladd-off-of-ufc-235\/\">not be competing on the card after all.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the wake of this news, many members of the MMA community guessed that Holly Holm could be reallocated to a title fight with Amanda Nunes, who currently owns the UFC bantamweight and featherweight belts. Brazilian publication <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Combate (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/sportv.globo.com\/site\/combate\/noticia\/ultimate-negocia-proxima-luta-de-amanda-nunes-para-o-brasil-em-maio-contra-holly-holm.ghtml\" target=\"_blank\">Combate<\/a> is reporting that this is indeed the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Combate&#8217;s report, Amanda Nunes and Holly Holm could meet at UFC 237 on May 11, which goes down inside the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this all certainly makes sense, it&#8217;s worth noting that Holm&#8217;s manager Lenny Fresquez&nbsp;told ESPN that his fighter withdrew from UFC 235 <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/manager-explains-why-holly-holm-is-not-fighting-at-ufc-235\/\">due to contract issues<\/a> \u2014 not to partake in a different fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in negotiations on a contract extension right now,\u201d Fresquez said. \u201cShe\u2019s very disappointed this fight is not happening, but she understands this is a business. We\u2019re in the middle of those negotiations right now, and everybody thought it would be best to get through that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combate is also reporting that a strawweight bout between top contenders Nina Ansaroff, Nunes&#8217; fiancee, and Tatiana Suarez is also headed to UFC 237.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UFC 237 is currently set to include a strawweight title fight between reigning champion Rose Namajunas and fearsome challenge Jessica Andrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does a fight between Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes interest you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><em>BJPENN.COM<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;on 2\/1\/2019.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until very recently, former UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm was expected to fight Aspen Ladd at UFC 235 on March 2.
