The latest addition to the UFC Women’s Bantamweight division, Holly Holm, appeared on this week’s edition of AXS TV’s “Inside MMA” show, where she discussed among other things, her upcoming UFC debut against Ultimate Fighter alum Raquel Pennington.
During the interview, which you can watch above, the number 15th ranked UFC Women’s Bantamweight contender spoke about her preparation for her UFC debut as well as what it’s been like transitioning from the boxing ring to the MMA cage.
Holm admitted that while she’s focused on the grappling side of the game, as far as her boxing is concerned, she still wants to work on perfecting her jab, a part of her stand-up game that she admits needs work.
Holly Holm vs. Raquel Pennington takes place at UFC 181, which takes place on December 6, 2014 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show features a double-main event with two world titles on the line, as Johny Hendricks will defend the UFC Welterweight Championship against Robbie Lawler, while current Ultimate Fighter 20 coaches Anthony Pettis and Gilbert Melendez will square off for Pettis’ UFC Lightweight Title.
