According to MMAfighting.com, the UFC is eyeing a 135-pound match between Holly Holm and Brazil’s Bethe Correia in the main event of UFC Fight Night 111 in Singapore. Holm who is riding a three-fight losing streak in the UFC is now desperate for a win to help her regain momentum again inside the Octagon. Until she was the first to defeat Ronda Rousey at UFC 193, Holm was unstoppable in MMA.

Correia, 33, is highly recognized for defeating all of Rousey’s teammates in the past. She holds notable wins over Julie Kedzie, Jessamyn Duke, Shayna Baszler, and Jessica Eye. The Brazilian is coming off a draw against Marion Reneau in March.

UFC Fight Night 111 will take place on June 17 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

UFC: Amanda Nunes Wants Winner Of Holm vs. De Randamie Featherweight Title Match https://www.yellmagazine.com/ufc-amanda-nunes-winner-holm-vs-de-randamie-featherweight-title-match/115208/ https://www.yellmagazine.com/ufc-amanda-nunes-winner-holm-vs-de-randamie-featherweight-title-match/115208/#respond Sun, 15 Jan 2017 17:10:23 +0000 https://www.yellmagazine.com/?p=115208 UFC bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes successfully defended her belt against Ronda Rousey at UFC 207. Her next goal is to play in the same shoes as Conor McGregor and go for another belt to make UFC history again.

On Saturday night, “The Lioness” tweeted that she wants to win the UFC featherweight title too and wants to challenge the winner of Holm vs. de Randamie at UFC 208, which takes place in February.

I’m ready to make wmma history…. I want the winner. @danawhite @ufc @seanshelby vamos Fazer historia no mundo quero lutar com quem ganhar.

Nunes, 28, defended her belt against Rousey in just 48 seconds by TKO due to punches at UFC 207. After amassing a three-fight win streak, the Brazilian mixed martial artist also stunned Miesha Tate early on via knee and punches and then won the fight by submission (rear-naked choke) in the first round at UFC 200. That’s when Nunes cemented herself as the women’s bantamweight champion.

If things don’t go Nune’s way, she still has a few challenges coming up in her division. Julianna Peña and Valentina Shevchenko will meet in the main event of UFC on FOX 23, the winner of the bout potentially has a match up with Nunes.

Stay tuned to Yell! Magazine for much more updates to come.

QOTD: Holly Holm Willing To Fight Cris Cyborg At 140-Pounds https://www.yellmagazine.com/qotd-holly-holm-fight-cris-cyborg-140-pounds/108907/ https://www.yellmagazine.com/qotd-holly-holm-fight-cris-cyborg-140-pounds/108907/#respond Thu, 19 May 2016 21:05:45 +0000 https://www.yellmagazine.com/?p=108907 Holly Holm isn’t worried about gaining a few extra baby pounds to face the deadliest female fighter on the planet, Cris Cyborg. In a recent interview, Holm unveiled her thoughts on going up against Cyborg at 140-pounds in the near future.

I’m not even stuck on the 135 compared to the 140 stuff. It’s not really a big thing for me. In boxing, I fought in three weight classes, I’m not gonna say that I’m against going at 140. I actually think Cyborg might able to do 135. Who knows? But that’s definitely something that could be an option for the future. I’m actually really happy for her victory. I really like Cyborg. I think she’s a great gal.

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm

Cyborg recently made her UFC debut last week against Leslie Smith at UFC 198. She destoyed her opponent early in the very first round by TKO (punches).

QOTD: Dana White Says Holly Holm Went Out Like A Gangster At UFC 196 https://www.yellmagazine.com/qotd-dana-white-holly-holm-gangster-ufc-196/107151/ https://www.yellmagazine.com/qotd-dana-white-holly-holm-gangster-ufc-196/107151/#respond Sat, 12 Mar 2016 17:24:49 +0000 https://www.yellmagazine.com/?p=107151 UFC 196: Holly Holm

She went out like a gangster, she get choked, she held on, she tried to fight the choke. Holly Holm technically did everything right to fight the choke, she went up against the fence so Miehsa couldn’t get her other hook in. Then Miesha held on to that choke so tight, she knew she was getting choked, so she got off the fence and tried to dump her on her head, and Miesha still didn’t let go. Those two women both, the way Miesha took that drop on the head, and the way Holly didn’t tap, gangsters. – UFC President Dana White

Holly Holm Inks New UFC Contract, Fight Announcement Coming Soon https://www.yellmagazine.com/holly-holm-inks-ufc-contract-fight-announcement-coming/105812/ https://www.yellmagazine.com/holly-holm-inks-ufc-contract-fight-announcement-coming/105812/#respond Tue, 05 Jan 2016 03:16:06 +0000 https://www.yellmagazine.com/?p=105812 MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - NOVEMBER 15: (L-R) Holly Holm lands a left-high kick against Ronda Rousey in the second round of their UFC women's bantamweight championship bout during the UFC 193 event at Etihad Stadium on November 15, 2015 in Melbourne, Australia.

After dethroning former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 in November, Holly Holm quickly became the new face of women’s MMA, which took her only a year to achieve in the UFC. Besides all the amazing new perks of being a UFC champion, Holm will also be enjoying her lucrative new UFC contract this year.

According to today’s edition of the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Holm revealed that she just inked a fresh contract and that she’s ready to fight sooner than later. Meaning Holm doesn’t want to wait until the summer or later for a rematch with Rousey.

Holm said,

If I fight sooner rather than later, it won’t be a rematch. But there’s still a possibility for a rematch. …We’ll wait and see how it unfolds.

Apparently, the UFC will be officially announcing her first title defense shortly.

Holm added,

I just don’t want to wait around for things if they’re not set in stone. A lot of people have been talking about the rematch, but nobody really knows for sure. I haven’t really heard if she really wants it yet or not or if she’s occupied with some other things right now. I think that’s the hardest part for me. … I don’t want to wait around for something that may not happen. I want to be able to fight soon. I like being active, because I love the sport.

There’s good speculation that Holm could face Miesha Tate early in 2016. And Holm insists the announcement will be “soon.”

I’ll let them announce it, I’m pretty sure it will be soon.

Stay tuned to Yell! Magazine for the update.
