The news was delivered to Helwani by Holm’s manager Lenny Fresquez. Fresquez claims Holm to make a comeback around early 2019. Fresquez also claimed that Holm would make a run towards the bantamweight title currently held by champion Amanda Nunes.

Holm, who was a boxing world champion before switching to MMA, had never undergone a surgery throughout the course of 16 years of her combat career.
