When you see both these featherweights together inside the octagon, there’s a huge size difference. Megan was bigger fighter and looked dangerous with her long legs that could cause some serious damage to Holly. After eating a big knee to her face in the opening seconds of the fight, Holly managed to keep herself together and move away to avoid any damage. Holly was in her usual elusive footwork as she began landing strikes. Her game game turned to take downs when she saw Megan was not confident enough in her own attempts. Holly secured four take downs, had a full ten minute control and landed 65 strikes secure a clean victory.
