10 Major Predictions For UFC 225: Whittaker Vs. Romero 2
3. Holly Holm Vs. Megan Anderson
Former Women's Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm hasn't fared well since her stunning headkick knockout of Ronda Rousey at UFC 193.
She lost the belt in her very first defence, and her June 2017 win over Bethe Correira stands as the only triumph of her last five fights. Most recently, 'The Preacher's Daughter' was fed to the Cris Cyborg murder machine, and while she survived all the way to their end of their five-round fight, Holm lost on the judge's scorecards.
Megan Anderson, meanwhile, is riding a four-fight winning streak, all of which have come via TKO. This will be her UFC debut, but those with an eye outside the market leaders know her potential. At 28 years old, the former Invicta Featherweight Champion has all the tools to become one of the UFC's leading female fighters, though she'll find it hard going against Holm, whose superior footwork and top-level experience should carry her through.
It's a tough introduction despite Holm's recent fortunes, but a couple of stiff power shots could throw Holly off her game.
Prediction: Holly Holm via unanimous decision.
