CHICAGO – Amid Holly Holm ’s “we’ll-see-what-happens” attitude in the lead-up to her UFC 225 meeting with Megan Anderson , one thing was clear: The former women’s bantamweight champion still had sights on re-claiming the belt of a division that felt like “ a little more my home .” On Saturday at Chicago’s United Center, Holm (12-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) took no notice of Anderson’s (8-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) notable size advantage and put on a dominant display en route to a unanimous-decision win .

Even the women’s featherweight champ, whom Holm met – and lost to – once, Cris Cyborg , encouraged the matchup (albeit with a follow-up suggestion of her own ). Between that, and Holm’s previously stated desire, it would appear that’s pretty much a done deal, right?
