November 15th is "Holly Holm Day" in the MMA universe.

The day Holly defeated Ronda Rousey for the 135lb title in 2015.

Happy Holly Holm day!

It was recently announced that Holly's next fight will be against Aspen Ladd at UFC 235.

Quote:
A key women’s bantamweight matchup is heading to Las Vegas with Holly Holm (12-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) vs. Aspen Ladd (7-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC).

UFC officials recently announced the booking for UFC 235. MMAjunkie confirmed with a person with knowledge of the booking that verbal agreements for the fight are in place but that bout agreements have yet to be signed. That person spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to publicly discuss such matters.

Ladd is currently ranked No. 4 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA women’s bantamweight rankings, while Holm checks in at No. 10.

UFC 235 takes place March 2 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The night’s main card airs on pay-per-view.

After a disappointing three-fight losing streak, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holm now stands at 2-1 in her past three appearances, sandwiching a failed bid to unseat UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg between bantamweight victories over Megan Anderson and Bethe Correia.

Meanwhile, Ladd remains unbeaten through the first seven bouts of her professional career, including an impressive October victory over former Invicta FC bantamweight champion Tonya Evinger.

It will either be Ladd's coming out party or a case of too much too soon for the 23 year old. It's a hard one to predict, TBH.

Holly's striking hasn't looked as sharp lately and fighters seem to have figured out that area of her game. It doesn't seem to be evolving or as lethal. She's got a good straight left and masks her kicks well, but is looking more and more hittable with counters. She has began to, rather like Julia Budd, lean on her physicality more and more in recent fights.

It will be interesting to see Holly's game plan for this fight. I've got a feeling she will be more keen to control the distance and keep this one standing, however. The young Ladd is probably the best ground fighter Holly has gone up against since Miesha. She seems to excel in scrambles and has a "crushing top game", winning most of her fights via ground and pound TKOs.

Holly's 37, so maybe it's just age catching up with her.

But I will admit, I've been surprised at her recent struggles. Granted, she's fought some top-end strikers.

But still, she's enormously skilled in stand-up, particularly boxing.

It's reported that Holly has separated from her husband for almost two years and is now filing for divorce. That must be good news for somebody. All you have to do is beat John Jones.

Not to be a gossip queen, but I guess like Miesha and Sara McMann (who split from their long time partners) it was because Holly wants to find a man that wants kids. Shortly after Miesha split from Brian Caraway, she was with another guy and soon pregnant. I guess Brian didn't want kids (anytime soon) and Miesha did. Men can have kids in their 40s, 50s, etc, but with women their biological clock is ticking in their late 30s and it's been said a few times that Holly wants kids in the future.

As it stands, Holm Vs. Ladd @ UFC 235 is off. It seems this is the last fight on Holly's contract and her manager is negotiating a new deal.

Bearing in mind that Holly will be primed to fight Amanda Nunes for the 135 title next, Dana is perhaps partly behind this and looking to make that fight at UFC 237 in April which currently does not have a main event. McGregor Vs. Cerrone is unlikely for this card as it's to be held in Brazil.
