LAS VEGAS – It’s been a calm build to the Amanda Nunes vs. Holly Holm women’s bantamweight title fight at UFC 239. Now that fight week has arrived, that hasn’t changed.
Nunes (17-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC), the reigning 135-pound champ who also holds the women’s featherweight title, looks to take out another former UFC champ when she meets Holm (12-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC), who is looking to regain the belt she lost in 2016.
Both women have shown a strong respect and appreciation for each other ahead of UFC 239, and the attitude remained the same during their first fight week encounter at media day on Thursday.
Watch the faceoff video above.
UFC 239 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
