Yesterday the Chicago Tribune reported and the UFC confirmed that Holly Holm vs Megan Anderson has been added to UFC 225 June 9 at the United Center in Chicago. This is a Welterweight bout. Of course Holly is not a Welterweight but the UFC has asked her to move up because the Welterweight cupboard is bare. Most recently she lost a title fight to Cris Cyborg. Some are praising her because she lasted five rounds. But her problems in that fight are the same problems she has had in other fights. She's just not aggressive enough. That's the only reason she loses fights. She's patient to a fault. Most fans should be familiar with Megan from Invicta. She was supposed to fight Cyborg last summer. But she had visa problems. Megan is from Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia but she now trains with UFC fighter James Krause in Missouri. She has improved tremendously since training there. Megan is currently on a four fight winning streak. I doubt she has improved enough to do anything with Cyborg. At six feet tall, she's a lot bigger than either Holly or Cyborg. So at least she's a real Welterweight. Unfortunately, other than Cyborg, she is the only UFC Welterweight. And I don't see any on the horizon.
