The former UFC bantamweight champion will have a chance to face Party Pooper at UFC 300. preacher's daughter She will clash with promotional newcomer Kayla Harrison in a highly anticipated 135-pound bout. Holm has a chance to not only take away her hype from Harrison, but also defend the honor of the UFC and prove that the world's leading organization has the best athletes in every weight class.

harrison hype
Understandably, Harrison will be heading into UFC 300 with a lot of hype behind him. A two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time PFL tournament champion, she was at one point one of the most feared women in the game. Granted, she's lost some of that aura since her loss to Larissa Pacheco, but she still enters the UFC Octagon as a jaded woman. She's a good talker, a solid all-around fighter, and she has no confidence whatsoever.
Importantly, on April 12, the day before UFC 300, she must hit 135 pounds for the first time in her career. How she looks on the scales will either continue her hype before fight night or burst her bubble in a big way.
I can't wait for Harrison's debut. Apparently she signed with the UFC and was scheduled to face Amanda Nunes. Harrison was on the front row at UFC 269 in 2021, but Nunes' loss to Julianna Pena all but wiped out any potential match between the two women. Since then, any chance of seeing Harrison in the UFC has ended, and she returned to the PFL where she went 4-1. It's now or never for Harrison, but she faces a tough test in Holm.
Holm vs. Judoka – When did we see this?
Holly Holm has a chance to kill off the hype of elite judoka Kayla Harrison at UFC 300 and potentially steal any new fans she might bring to the UFC. It's a tough fight, but it's not like we haven't seen Holm being the big underdog facing the judoka on the big stage beforehand.
Holly Holm faced off against UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey at UFC 193, losing badly. It's true that this was 9 years ago, but preacher's daughter She used elite footwork, Hall of Fame-level boxing, and an overall well-rounded MMA game to neutralize, embarrass, and ultimately defeat the previously undefeated and dominant Rousey. I killed him.
We'll likely see a similar development at UFC 300 in Las Vegas. If Harrison doesn't respect Holm, isn't turned on, or is too drained by an unexpectedly large weight loss, Holm could easily walk away. As a winner. only time will tell!
