NEW YORK – Holly Holm wants her fight with Julianna Pena rebooked.
Holm was scheduled to face Peña at UFC on ESPN 24 in May 2021, but was diagnosed with hydronephrosis, a swelling in the kidneys that occurs when urine fails to properly drain from the kidney to the bladder. It forced her to withdraw from the bout.
Peña (11-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) recently lost the women’s bantamweight title to Amanda Nunes in a rematch, and Holm (14-6 MMA, 7-6 UFC) likes the idea of getting matched up with her next.
