Holly Holm vs Raquel Pennington added to Jan. 18 UFC show

Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie reported this afternoon that Holly Holm vs Raquel Pennington has been added to UFC 246 Jan. 18 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. You may recall that in her UFC debut, Holly beat Raquel by split decision. I think Raquel broke both hands during that fight. Of course Holly got that big win over Ronda Rousey after that. We now know that win was a fluke. Even as a boxer, Holly was never aggressive. She's always been a counterpuncher and therefore a points fighter. Raquel used to be a good fighter. But she isn't the same since that ATV crash a couple of years ago. She did win her last fight over Irene Aldana by split decision. So I think both should retire. Holly was asked about retirement after she lost to Amanda Nunes. Like most fighters, she doesn't know when to quit. This fight was supposed to happen in Oct. but Holly pulled out due to injury. Both have been in the title picture but neither is good enough anymore. I don't care who wins.
