Raquel Pennington Claims Holly Holm Rematch Will Be Rescheduled

It appears as though Raquel Pennington will get the opportunity to avenge a previous loss to Holly Holm at a later date.

Holm pulled out of their rematch at UFC 243 due to a partially torn hamstring late last week, and Pennington was pulled from Saturday’s card as a result. According to the former title challenger, her bout with Holm will be rebooked at a later date.

Just want to say thanks to all my supporters unfortunately upon arrival in Australia I found out that my opponent pulled from the fight due to injury. The fight will be rescheduled so until then I’m going to enjoy this delicious donut and explore the land down under #TeamRocky pic.twitter.com/e0WxKUfgFo

Pennington first squared off with Holm at UFC 184, where she fell to the Jackson-Wink MMA standout via split decision. “Rocky” recently snapped a two-fight skid when she took a split verdict over Irene Aldana at UFC on ESPN 4 on July 20.

Holm, meanwhile, recently revealed that she suffered the injury in training, and while it prevented her from fighting on Saturday in Melbourne, it will not require surgery.
